PCMan File Manager

Just the note - ticket was about "change dimensions, close it and reboot"
and that behavior is fixed in Git but your case is "change dimensions and
then reboot" which is another case and that another case may need yet be
confirmed if it is ever requested and if it is then it should be discussed
with all users as it changes current behavior so therefore the user
expectations. So let it be as it is now. Ticket's issue is fixed. Thank you
everyone!

You're right about killing with the window is opened, I've missed that
case. But you should not worry about any excessive disk writing as much
config will be saved if and only if the user manually resize window size
(not counting moving, maximizing, or fullscreening it) and even that will
be done with a little timeout so if user do resize few times in few seconds
then config will be rebuilt only once.

I have never fixed this one so I'm sure the bug is still there.
Fixing this issue is more complicated then it looks like.

When to save the window position?
1. If we do it everytime the window is moved, this causes excessive disk
writing.
2. If we do it when a window is closed, if the program is terminated with
all window opened, it won't be saved.
3. If we do it when the program terminates, this sounds reasonable but
cannot be implemented. When the user logout the desktop session or reboot,
pcmanfm is terminated by SIGKILL generated by disconnecting from X. It's
SIGKILL, not SIGTERM and there is no way to intercept that signal.
4. If we utilize X11 session management and save it when X session logout,
this requires XSM support and it only work for currently active desktop
session. Sessions of inactive users are not handled by XSM. Besides,
lxsession and other WMs has no XSM support.
5. If we try to interact with session manager, such as register ourself via
gnome-session dbus interface, it's possible to get logout signal under
gnome, but it's gnome-only.

To sum up, there is no reliable and efficient way to do it while it's easy
to do in Windows since Windows 95. Unfortunately, we're using X11.

We hope this issue is completely fixed in the Git repository recently.
Check it out when it's possible for you and if the bug still exists then
reopen the report, please.
Thank you very much.

If the program is killed, the values are not written to config files.
Otherwise, it saves the values in config files on program termination.
We need to find out a better way to do this.

Version 1.0 is in feature freeze and string freeze now.
Let's fix this later in 1.5.

Correction:
It seems to use and load dimensions from lubuntu.conf (works if changed
manually) but fails to save new dimensions there upon quitting.

Did more checking...

Other window positions are remembered. So it is a PCManFM problem. It
appears that it does not save to pcmanfm.conf:
win_width=?
win_height=?
splitter_pos=?

AND does not load any new dimensions either if you enter them manually.

Should be an easy fix. Thanks for the great work. It is a very good piece
of software!
