To save the location of a subcomposite, do File -> Save in the subcomposite.

The contsructor in ptolemy/actor/gui/WindowPropertiesAttribute.java says:

        // The following line, if uncommented, results in
        // icons that are defined in an external file always being
        // exported along with the model that defines them.  This bloats
        // the MoML files with information that is not needed. I suspect
        // the line was put there because it wasn't clear that you need
        // to invoke File->Save in a submodel if you want the location
        // and position of the submodel window to be saved. It is not
        // sufficient to invoke save just at the top level.
        // setPersistent(true);

It certainly is arguable that the design should be such that
File->Save saves the location of all the open windows, but that's
not how the system is designed, so I'm dropping this to a slightly lower
priority and to an enhancement.

This would be good to discuss with Edward.
