photo frame geometry

[GoogleCodeExporter]

photoframe version 1.2
ubuntu 10.10

Can you add an option to Lock the frame position? Every time I restart my 
computer, photoframe is at the top left corner, not in the position where I 
left it at.

Can you add a visibility option so that photoframe will not hide when I click 
on the 'Show Desktop' applet?  When I click 'Show Desktop', I want to see 
photoframe, but instead it gets hidden along with all open windows.

Also, when I initiate the Compiz scale window, photoframe should hide and not 
be shown along with the other scaled windows.

Thanks.

gphotoframe should save it's own geometry.
Could you show me the result of thefollowing command?

$ cat ~/.gconf/apps/gphotoframe/%gconf.xml

I opened new issue #84.

All of my issues were solved by enabling "Fix Photo Frame".  I was just 
confused by its purpose.  I thought "Fix Photo Frame" is used to fix (redraw) 
the frame if it doesn't appear correctly.  Wouldn't "Lock position" be a more 
suitable term to use? 
Thanks again.

"Fix Photo Frame" is for the issue #1 (issue #68).
The menu item does noting for saving the photo frame geometry.

I tested photoframe by repeatedly logging out & logging in my desktop. 
With "Fix Photo Frame" disabled, photoframe 
  - always appear on top left corner
  - minimize to taskbar with Show Desktop
  - it scales along with other windows with Compiz scale command

With "Fix Photo Frame" enabled, photoframe
  - appears where I last placed it, moves a little bit
  - not affected by Show Desktop
  - doesn't scale with Compiz scale, stays below other scaled windows

$ cat ~/.gconf/apps/gphotoframe/%gconf.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
    <entry name="window_fix" mtime="1297453773" type="bool" value="true"/>
    <entry name="interval" mtime="1297127946" type="int" value="60"/>
    <entry name="max_height" mtime="1297127819" type="int" value="150"/>
    <entry name="max_width" mtime="1297127815" type="int" value="200"/>
    <entry name="root_y" mtime="1297453773" type="int" value="791"/>
    <entry name="root_x" mtime="1297453773" type="int" value="1783"/>
    <entry name="fullscreen" mtime="1297453150" type="bool" value="false"/>
</gconf>

Anyway, my issue is solved.
