But Xcode 4 can remember only one window configuration, and that is the configuration of the last open window for a project. So if you create a new window, resize it, move it, hide navigators, etc., and then close the first window before the you close the second window, then the next time you open the project the second window's settings will be restored.
This is especially irritating when the restored window is a named tab. If you do not take care, you will change the layout to get something useful (file explorer, toolbar, …) and next time your named tab should be open (when building or starting a debug session), Xcode will bring front your new project window you will have to relayout it one more time to match your previous settings.
This is not a big issue, but each time I relayout a window, I have the impression I'm losing time to do thing I had never done in Xcode 3.
And at the end of the day, all the time passed fighting with the window layout make me fill I'm less productive with Xcode 4.
