--- Comment #11 from Christian Lehmann <christianw_lehmann at arcor.de> ---
The following suggestions on the last questions presuppose that the enhancement
sought will store, for those documents which figure in the list of 25 Recent
Documents, the size and position of the window last occupied by each of them.

On Comment 9:
A new document should always be opened in a window whose dimensions approach A4
format (or Letter format, for US users), as this would fit the intentions of
most users.

If a new document is opened from the Start Center, its window should remain
within the confines of the Start Center window, since this is being replaced.
If the Start Center window borders on one of the vertical edges of the screen,
the new document should do the same.

If a new document is opened by File > New, the default assumption would appear
to be that the user wants to keep his current document open and open the new
one in addition. If so, he will want minimum overlap between the two documents.
Consequently, position the new window at the opposite vertical edge of the
screen.

If a document is opened by double-clicking its file in the File Manager, then
if it is one of the 25 Recent Documents, see above. Otherwise, it should be
treated like a new document opened by File > New, with the File Manager taking
the role of an open LO document for the purpose of window positioning (if LO
can recognize the File Manager's window position).


On Comment 10:
If a document is opened (and maybe edited), but not saved, nothing is to be
done: If it is one of the Recent Documents, its window position remains stored.
Otherwise, the above treatment for new documents and for older existent
documents applies.

Heiko, not sure whether this is what you meant.
