I've noticed this as well. It's so wrong, I can hear my disk thrashing with
writes as I move or resize the window.

Just to be clear, the file is ~/.gnome2/yelp. The worst part is that the
position of the window isn't even saved in that file (only the size), yet it's
still saving continuously as you move the window.

It's been 2.5 years now since that bug was reported... please fix this, it's a
pretty ugly bug and it reflects badly on the fit and finish of Gnome as a
desktop overall.

I'm observing this in Gnome 2.26.3 with Yelp 2.26.0. You might want to update
the affected version in the bug metadata to reflect that this still affects the
latest stable released version of Gnome.
