I can't see any tweak about this in dconf or compiz. Can someone explain is there any way to make Nautilus remember its position before the closing?
Ubuntu 12.04
One solution to this problem is using the software gnome-tweak-tool. Here is how step by step: (WARNING! read at the bottom of this message first: there will be some bugs if you follow the steps but it is fully and easily reversible)
1) if you do not have installed gnome-tweak-tool you can find it in Ubuntu Software Center. In the search area type "advanced settings" and install the first matching result.
Close Ubuntu Software Center.
2) This app will appear in Unity with the name "Advanced Settings", if not, search it with dash with this name.
3) Launch this app and go to "Desktop" and change "Have file manager handle the desktop" from OFF to ON. That's it! Close the app and now Nautilus will remember the last size and position.
WARNING! There are some side effects to this action, but it is fully reversibile if you put "Have file manager handle the desktop" from ON to OFF. Some bugs that I have noticed after the modification: slow unity, slow firefox and others.
