Saving the geometry can cause several inconveniences, e.g. when using a
temporary dual screen setup, or sharing ~/.gitk between multiple
systems.  Additionally it can be argued that window placement and sizing
are the tasks of the window manager.  So don't do that anymore.

I myself find it useful to have gitk remember the size and layout of
the various panes, so I won't be applying this patch.

The saving/restoring of the window position was done by Mark Levedahl
to make gitk work properly on Cygwin.  I agree it can be annoying on X
and I would take a patch to inhibit the restoring of the window
position when running under X.  I'd want an ack from Mark before
making that change more generally.

I use gitk under X and like the saving/restoring of window size/geometry. Please do not remove that feature.
