In the XF86Config file, find the section for your server (Section Screen,
Driver "SVGA" for me), and there should be a line above Subsection "Display"
called DefaultColorDepth. If it isn't there, make it. Here's the relevant
section from mine:
Section "Screen"
Driver "SVGA"
Device "Primary Card"
Monitor "Primary Monitor"
DefaultColorDepth 32
SubSection "Display"
Depth 32
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Not sure about this. I use FVWM and don't have that problem, but I always
thought it was Netscape that was remembering its size.
