Bug Description

Epiphany 2.14.0, Ubuntu Dapper

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch Epiphany.
2. Drag the window to a particular position.
3. Close the window.
4. Launch Epiphany again.

The window should appear exactly where the last one was. Instead, it appears at a default position.

I can confirm this behaviour in Dapper latest.
Not just epiphany, but also other apps such a gedit that use a .xml file to save state do this.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151775
is where I found the difference between apps that use xml files and gconf to save state.

Filing this as a desktop bugs seeing as it affects gnome terminal too.

upstream consider the smart placement from the window manager better than a fixed position and has closed the bug, doing the same with the distribution task
