Chris' windows don't seem to remember their positions.

    Also he would like to change his autoplot_data to .autoplot.

    Also I couldn't figure out where the positions are kept. This needs to be better documented. I though all prefs were under autoplot_data, but maybe not.

    On Linux, they are kept in ~/.java/.userPrefs. For example:

    • cd ~/tmp/
    • cp ~/.java/.userPrefs/org/autoplot/datasource/prefs.xml .
    • open the cdf editor and resize it slightly. close or cancel
    • diff ~/.java/.userPrefs/org/autoplot/datasource/prefs.xml prefs.xml

    This should show differences.

    It is wrong about the screensize, where is thinks my two-head display is only one screen wide. This is fixed, and I suspect it may fix Chris' issue.

    This fixes things for Chris (and for me when I use the second screen).
