I can confirm that the behaviour is much better: the window size is
restored, as is the position, but it gives preference to the
Xinerama head. You'd think it restores at the same *relative*
position on the current head, but it actually just restores
somewhere — I cannot figure out the behaviour.

However, I still wonder why we have to do this at all. I understand
that Cygwin has issues and needs this code, but couldn't it then be
made to run only on Cygwin, such that on "proper" Unix systems, the
config file is *not* updated every time I move the window before
closing the application? As I said earlier, this is really the job
of a window manager, *not* a configuration option. If your window
manager cannot restore the window to a size you control, then it's
broken. Let's not hack applications to work around that, please.
