I *think* restoring the position can't be done on wayland, but
maybe I'm
mistaken about that.
Restoring window size does work for me, though.
If this is true, it is showstopper.
I’m heavily using virtual desktops and session management.
Having a session “restored” by cluttering several dozends windows
from 8 virtual desktops on the first virtual desktop, makes the
system totally unusable.
Apart from the session management currently not working at all, that
was not what I meant.
Than I missunderstood.
The window manager *is* able to position
windows anywhere on the
screen, but the application itself can not
say "I want to open myseflf at position X,Y" as it could on X11 (if
my information is correct). Virtual desktops are totally unaffected
by this anyways and have nothing to do with window position.
I’m wondering how the windowmanager knowns how to restore a lot of
firefox-windows on the correct desktops…

Pleased to see the Shutdown options panel appear when I went to reboot
my workstation after this morning's full-upgrade. I'm still not seeing
applications being restored unless they are on the first virtual
desktop however - with the exception of gkrellm which restored
properly on desktop 2 and filezilla which restored, but to desktop 1
I decided to give Wayland another go but note that Spectacle's
recording feature still does not appear to be working. And simple
screen recorder still doesn't work with Wayland. This leaves me
without a screen recorder.
Please note: theses are not complaints against the people trying to
make things work. This is simply a status report on the current state
of affairs on my workstation.
Kudos to the Plasma team for getting the upgrade to 6 working. I note
that applications are now being restored properly (at least using X -
haven't tried Wayland recently since it seems to less capable than X for
what I do). Not sure I like the limited options on the confirmation
screen for logouts/shutdowns. Also, I note that gkrellm and FileZilla
are being restored to desktop 1 instead of the ones they were open on.
And FileZilla is being restored twice, so I have to close one instance.
