Here is a simple sounding question that probably been answered many times, but
after googling and wikiing awhile, still haven't found quite what I'm after.
When iconifying a window, how to force the icon to exactly the same screen
position it occupied the last time it was iconified?
I don't use any icon manager or icon organization scheme, and don't want to.
Typical example:
1. Start xv, do "something" [see below]
2. Iconify xv. It iconifies to a position I don't like, call it A
3. Move the icon to position I do like, call it B
4. Later, click the icon to open xv and do another thing.
5. Iconify xv. It returns to A, not B.
It seems the above behavior is also influenced by what the "something" in
Step #1 is. If "something" is nothing at all -- i.e. just start xv and
immediately iconify it and reposition the icon to B -- then opening xv in
Step 4 and re-iconifying it returns the icon to B not A. But if "something"
is (say) doing a screen capture or opening the image editor, then iconifying
after that returns the icon to position A.
What's going on with this? Can the icon position be forced?
