On the plus side, all floating palettes remember not only position but on/off status and all docks across sessions: when you restart Gimp, it reopens all the palettes it had opened last time. I wonder if we have to do the same in Inkscape (currently only size and position of dialogs is remembered).
We should definitely remember the hidden/shown status of dialogs as well.
Something else to check is how remembering position interacts with Xinerama/multiscreen setups.
P.S. Regarding our recent discussion of Gtkmm/Glade, Gimp seems to use what we use now, i.e. plain C. Does this mean that if we switch to Gtkmm we won't be able to borrow code, such as dockability, from Gimp?
It's not necessarily an issue -- certainly using gtkmm is no obstacle to reusing/subclassing Gtk widgets in C.
Use of Glade is an entirely separate issue from Gtkmm, and really also entirely orthagonal to this one.
