Various dialog boxes don't remember their location and size

Quite a few of the dialog boxes in qgis don't remember their location and size - I think that they should. Culprits include:

• line and area measure
• help viewer
• all of the plugin dialogs
• attribute table
• bookmarks

The identify results, the qgis window, the printer composer do remember their size and position.

The fix for #10499 can be added to these too.

Changed to minor under the following scheme:

• blocker - bugs that should block the release. Since we are going to release pretty much 'come what may' I would like no bugs
• allocated to this category without consultation with me and / or PSC
• critical - bugs that cause the application to crash or corrupt data
• major - application features that do not function at all
• minor - features that function but imerfectly e.g. labels placing incorrectly
• trivial - gui useability issues or small issues with the documentation, install notes etc.

================================
Checked this on QGIS 1.0.0 Preview II. Confirmed behaviour fixed for:

1. Line and Area Measure
2. Attribute Table
3. Help Contents

Dialogs that still had this problem:

1. New Bookmark
2. Show Bookmarks
3. Plug-ins:
   All Tested - from "Add WFS" to "Georeferencer"

that is the dialog that allows the user to pick a svg file that is not part of the svg QGIS library.
