Why? Its either the window-managers task to restore that exact position as 
before, or its the winow-managers task to place your windows where they fit. 
And its the users task to decide what the window-manager should do. Your app 
shouldn't worry about that.
And it will be _very_ surprising (if not misleading and disturbing) when your 
app re-appears on the desktop it previously was while the user starting your 
app is on a different desktop altogether and expects a window coming up.

So in short: Don't worry about it, thats the window-managers task, focus on 
the tasks of your app.

Have fun,

Arnold
