I suggest giving OW some intelligence. Monitor what folks are doing with their windows, and if you see them repeatedly resizing and relocating new windows to roughly the same coordinates, then tell them about the Save Window Size command. There are other opportunities for this sort of intelligence, too. For instance, if you see someone repeatedly opening links in new foreground tabs then immediately switching back to the previous tab, tell them how to directly open links in background tabs. Or if you see them typing many lines of text into a multi-line field, tell them how to do it in an external window. Or if you see them constantly typing out "http://www.xxx.com/", tell them how to type less. And so on.
Of course, you need to have some very well-chosen preferences to control the intelligence, but it's a good way to get people who refuse to read the docs using the full power of the app.
