I have fixed it, kinda sorta. Seems that everytime that gtk-gnutella exits, it scrambles the window_coords line. I got the parameters close to what I want and then made the file non writable. This is what gtk-gnutella was writing to the file even though I just killed the process without touching the window. And everytime I would kill it there were different paramaters.
