When opening the first window, don't restore the position of the last closed window. It's confusing to users (the last closed window is irrelevant within one session with multiple windows open) and it can lead to really bad issues which users consider bugs (why is my first window behaving differently than other windows? why is my first window appearing in the corner of my screen? why when I open caja for the first time my window doesn't appear on the monitor my mouse presently is? etc..)
