-    On X11, this won't work because an invisible window doesn't have
-    a frame yet. The window manager will decorate the window later.
-    When this happens, the window shifts towards the bottom/right
-    corner of the screen depending on the size of the decoration frame.
-    Although X provides a way to avoid this shift, most window managers
-    fail to implement this feature.

     Since version 4.2, Qt provides functions that saves and restores a
     window's geometry and state for you. QWidget::saveGeometry()
     saves the window geometry and maximized/fullscreen state, while
     QWidget::restoreGeometry() restores it. The restore function also
     checks if the restored geometry is outside the available screen
-    geometry, and modifies it as appropriate if it is.
