Ok, I downloaded the latest daily build (installer version) and put it 
on my laptop, running Ubuntu 13.10.  It opened centered in the screen, 
so I moved it to the upper left corner and shutdown.  When I reopened 
it, it was in the upper left corner just as I wanted. So on my laptop 
that did not have any version of jEdit installed it worked just as I wanted.

On my desktop machine I had installed jEdit using a PPA, but when I saw 
how well the installer worked I decided to install the daily build in a 
temp directory.

When I ran jEdit in the temp directory it displayed the same start up 
location behavior as my current copy of jEdit.  At first I was confused 
because jEdit opened with the last file I had edited and all of my 
plugins loaded.  I checked the version and it was the daily build but 
was using settings from my normal version.

So this is not a valid test to see if the behavior has changed in the 
daily build.  I have never tried to run two copies of jEdit on the same 
machine before so I don't know how to isolate the daily build from my 
normal one.
