For saving positions across sessions, the window manager will handle
it just fine, assuming the window manager and session manager are
working properly. As long as Nautilus doesn't do anything boneheaded
like set USPosition, this should not have any impact on windows that
are saved/restored _during_ the session, which would still be done by
Nautilus.

I would like to add stuff to the WM spec to make it all work a bit
better though (moving the Nautilus window-saving stuff more onto the
window manager side).
