No. From a users perspective, restoring to non-max after a maximized
window is closed *is* random.

 From pgAdmin perspective, restoring to default pos because stored
values are bogus isn't different from restoring to stored default
positions from init code.

No the problem reported is "doesn't remember size if maximized". Those
maximizer guys don't care about the stored position which isn't
reflecting their previous window size.

  It does this by not updating the stored position/size
> values if the dialogue is minimised or maximised.

Thats the problem. the main app *did* handle this correctly before.

Maximize on gtk, close window, reopen.

Again:
the problem is not at store time, but at restore time. size/pos that are
not what the user wants are by no means better than bogus or
defaultsize/pos.
You invented bugs, without fixing anything.
