Could you suggest a suitable place to assign it?  There doesn't seem to
be a general Ubuntu 'desktop usability' project that I could find with
Google.  We already know Metacity will close it as 'not their problem',
and I assume Compiz would do the same.  Not sure where else it
could/should go...

I was hoping it would be fairly trivial to fix in that Devil's Pie could
be used to implement some of the solution, but perhaps that's still not
trivial enough.  This is definitely something that someone new to Ubuntu
would find to be a usability failure - my reason for filing this bug in
the first place was that a friend tried Ubuntu last week and went back
to Windows after three days due to this specific issue - he found it
that annoying, just a total show-stopper for him that application
windows and dialogues didn't always appear in the same place that he'd
put them last time.  I'm sure that seems silly to many people, but I can
appreciate his point - it's been annoying me for years too, although not
enough to stop using Linux/GNOME.
