[ubuntu-in] How to "remember" gnome terminal window size and position?

Hi,

Is there a way to get the gnome terminal window (and other apps' windows) to
remember its size and position so that the next time I open it should be
restored that way?

At home I use compizfusion's window placement plugin to set this up but at work
I don't have or want compiz running so am looking for another way to
do this in gnome.

Found some links while drafting this email:

(Voted for the brainstorm ideas and using "--geometry 150x50+50+50" for the
terminal as a workaround - its a fixed position but doesnt remember
the last position.)

Is there any way we can currently do this (remember settings) for any
app window in
general with Ubuntu Hardy (gnome) without compiz?

Thanks!
