[QE-users] read ions position from previous runs

One can use restart_mode='restart' together with startingpot='atomic'  
and startingwfc='atomic+random'... This will trick the code to use the  
positions but starting with the standard starting potential and wave  
functions. But be careful: the code also reads in other variables such  
as electric field or similar... Give it a try :)
