Hi Peter,

Yes, you understood it correctly. I tried to repeat the process, but *this* time both editor and main window were sized and positioned correctly. However, I have a new problem (actually, it also happened last time as well). All the opened files in the editor in the last session were opened a second time in the editor. For example, if I had files A, B and C opened remotely. Now I come to my office and I chose "DesktopLayout", I then would have A, B, C, A, B and C opened in my editor. 

Let me email you part of the screen shot as well as the .xml file. Please check your email. thanks.
