Bill, just for the hell of it, I tried it under Gnome (this is Fedora 9 as you probably know :-). I positioned and sized the Evo window as I like it, logged out of Gnome and back in again, fired up Evo and there it was in same position and size as I left it. I didn't play with extra workspaces, not did I explicitly save the desktop configuration, and note that I'm not auto-starting Evo (I like to keep the number of autostart apps to a minimum). Also, I use my own button which just executes Evo, rather than the builtin one which runs something called launchmail, but I can't see that making a difference.
