[PATCH] add gui.geometry pref to lazily avoid fullscreen window on startup

[markb@…]

The default behaviour of starting with the main gui maximised does not suit me and
I am too lazy to type in extra args so the attached patch adds a preference
called gui.geometry that specifies the geometry to use on startup.

The pref has to be explicitly set in the Einstein pane or by manually editing
the preferences file.

Specifying --geometry=... on the command line will override the pref value.

Please add an option in preferences to enables that. I think best would be to remember the last used program size as is common for other tools.

See also #178.

Please see new patch that will save the window geometry on exit. It will only do
this if gui.geometry is defined which can be done by either using the --geometry
option or by editing using the Einstein pane.

This new patch supersedes the previous patch.

Just discovered that when using MToolkit, the size of the window is
saved correctly but position changes are ignored. Not sure if this is
a compiz thing, or what. When not using MToolkit, the window's position
is detected and saved correctly.
