Problem
If you don't have a default game instance, the GUI window will always appear in its default location as if you have never run CKAN before. This can be annoying if you have a strong preference for having appear in a particular spot on the screen or at a particular size.
Cause
The window geometry is saved per-instance, and as of #3829 and #3863, we display the GUI window as early as possible, and if there's no default instance, then the window appears before you choose an instance. There was no clearly best way to load the geometry without an instance.
Changes
Now if you have no default instance, we scan your (valid) instances to find the one with the most recently written
CKAN/GUIConfig.xmlfile, and then we load that configuration. This way the window will appear wherever it was when you most recently closed CKAN, even with no default instance. If you have no instances at all (or if all of your instances are corrupted), we fall back to the baseline defaults.Fixes #3870.
