Thunar not remembering window location

I've reinstalled Arch on a new laptop, and cp'd my root and user directories over (including some hidden files) (and chowning them to the new users as needed). It looks like I may have done something wrong. Thunar doesn't remember the last window location, so each window starts small in the top-left corner. Where is this setting stored? I've looked in .config/Thunar but don't see anything. I don't have this issue with my browser, terminal, or any other programs that I'm aware of.

I am using XFCE4, and LightDM (if that matters).

Re: Thunar not remembering window location

Looks like everything is stored in the xfconf database, but I don’t know where it is located.

xfconf-query -c thunar -l

Note that Thunar does not remember its position, however it should remember its size.

Edit: there is the “misc-remember-geometry” value, though… maybe setting this to true would help.
