[Novalug] Fedora 12 bug; Restore window size and position

Another problem with Fedora knocked out, my obstacles list is getting
very small!

In Fedora 12, once you position a Nautilus window and/or resize it,
you'd likely like to see it restore that same size and position the next
time you open Nautilus.  A missing gconf key in Fedora 12 prevents this
but the following command restores the behaviour seen in past Fedoras.

gconftool-2 \
   --set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/navigation_window_saved_geometry" \
   --type string "800x600+0+0"

I use Nautilus all the time so having to reposition and resize Nautilus windows is unproductive for me.
