My wish is, that when I start a certain program "XYZ", then it should

individually for a certain program?
You can always to in: right click on title bar >

configure special window settings
There you can choose to force the geometry and placement of the window...
It's not really an answer to your question, but it can be a workaround.
There are also scripts that you can download, for kwin if I understand
correctly.
The searched for option is unfortunately not offered there, otherwise it
would be the solution. For "Initial placement" there are offered the
options "Smart, Maximizing, Cascade, Centered, Random, Top Left Corner,
Under Mouse, On Main Window", but not the desired options "Bottom, Left,
Right, Top" which I could then combine with "Maximize Vertically or
Maximize Horizontally, apply initially" in order to achieve what I am
looking for.
By the way, you wouldn't know what is the difference between "Special
Window Settings" and "Special Application Settings"? Both show the
identical entries but save them independently, although either of them
seems to do the same according to my observations.
