I have to correct this statement. KWin does not seem to correctly implement the remember position feature. I clearly remember I somehow triggered the desired behavior but I can no longer reproduce in KDE 4.6 Therefore to anyone interested in closing this longstanding issue (and as a tl;dr for my previous post): Please have a look at the implementation in OS X and/or Windows. Their window managers are the only ones having this feature by default and fully transparent to the user. Their implementations have been tested and used over decades now - and they are surprisingly similar... I wouldn't deviate from them without serious long term usability testing. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
