That's strictly up to whoever wrote the app.  If the devs decide to 
save/restore position it will, if they don't, neither will it.  From 
what I can tell, it's gotten to be fairly standard for Gatesware apps to 
do this, but not, as yet, for Linux.  I've no idea why not, as it seems 
to be a fairly obvious thing to do.
