Bug#447704: evince enforces window position

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 2.20.0-1
Severity: minor

evince saves the window position and size information on exit and
insists on restoring it when it's started again, overriding any
hints from the window manager. I think this is the window manager's
job and I should at least be able to turn it off.

As a side effect, evince fails to open on the proper head (the one
with the mouse pointer) in a multihead environment.
