What you may want to do is look into your GNOME documentation. Most
window managers have options on what to do with certain apps when they
run. For instance I have firefox load in one virtual desktop, and I
have amaroK load in another, and I have eclipse run fullscreen.
Surely there are options similar to that for whatever GNOME uses
nowadays (metacity?).

I notice that many applications re-open with the whatever size they had
when they were closed. I think GNOME records their size and since they
don't request any size at startup, GNOME resets it to what it was at the
last close.
I will look in the documentation to see if I can find something but I
expect it to be a long time.
Gvim compiled with GNOME support (which is not the default: a configure option
is required) transparently restarts its latest session, with your latest
editfile(s), at GNOME or kde startup when it was *implicitly* shut down at the
previous shutdown of the GNOME or kde window manager (shut down by a message
from the window manager and *not* by a ZZ or :q command). This session startup
script is stored in a separate GNOME directory in order to avoid interference
with your own sessions; it doesn't store the position and size of the Vim
window since restoring that is the window manager's job However, the window
"role" (whatever that is) is stored and restored by gvim versions compiled for
GTK2+GNOME.
See ":help gnome-session".
GNOME support requires a GTK1 or GTK2 GUI; it is mentioned on the 3rd or 4th
line of output of the ":version" command, for instance as follows:
Huge version with GTK2-GNOME GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
