I have already suggested several times to put this geometry saving into
KTMainWindow class, though configurable.
The same goes for toolbar and menubar positions.
Not all apps should use this "save-props" feature, only some of them, especially
some small apps like kscd, caitoo, icq - clients, knotes.

I implemented this in caitoo and few other apps are using it too, e.g. knotes.
Some apps are only keeping the size of window  which is ok e.g. for kmail, or
konqeuror windows.

Maybe we could let the user decide, about this.
Let's say that he wants some konqueror window to appear also on an exact
position on the screen. Something for "save settings for this url" feature.
