In the 1.1.x branch gnumeric opens a spreadsheet to the window size it 
was when last saved (with the proviso that it uses minimum and maximum 
widths and heights, ie. a very small window is probably wider when it is 
reopened.) I would suspect that this is also true for the 1.0.x branch.

THe 1.1.x branch has a preference dialog, the 1.0.x branch does not. In 
the former you can specify the default window size (as a fraction of the 
screen size) for new spreadsheets or non-gnumeric sheets.

It should.
