I dunno if it's that silly - it just stores the window geometry, not
the head specifically.  This way if you load up a set of related
documents, the windows will be in the same place they were.  At least,
within normal window managers.  I know some of the main inkscape devs
quite well, so if you think this should be addressed in some way..
Anyway, there's an option to switch it off.  That should be enough.
