Since version 4.2, Qt provides functions that saves and restores a
window's geometry and state for you. QWidget::saveGeometry()
saves the window geometry and maximized/fullscreen state, while
QWidget::restoreGeometry() restores it. The restore function also
checks if the restored geometry is outside the available screen
