Bug 1026576

Description of problem:

Atril doesn't remember the size of the window that I last used to view the last document.  It always opens a window of the same size, and that default size is very small (possibly related to the fact that I have a large, 2560x1600 pixel display).

This is annoying.  It means that the first thing I have to do after opening a document in atril is grab the lower-right corner of the window and resize it to be larger.  That shouldn't be necessary.  I have to do this, for every single atril window I ever open.  It's darn annoying!

Evince didn't have this problem for me: I think it must have been remembering the previous window size from the last invocation of evince, so I only had to resize evince once and then it would remember that for me, or something.  However it worked, I got large-sized windows when using evince and didn't have to constantly resize every single evince window I ever opened.  So, atril is a step backwards for me, compared to evince.

(Yes, I have been using Edit >> Save Current Settings as Default in the atril menus, but this does not cause atril to remember the size of the window when opening a new PDF document.)

For discussion of this in evince, see e.g.

as well as

I don't get any errors on stderr when running atril on the command line.
