That's exactly right. The file ".info" is a window snapshot, created by
selecting the SNAPSHOT menu entry from Workbench. There will be one
in every directory in which a snapshot has been taken. It contains the
positions for all windows and icons that were snapshotted.

It's badly named, since it's name looks similar to, but is in fact totally
different from, all other "*.info" files.
