On X11, it is not feasible to implement in KWin, which is why I implemented in
KXMLGUI for KDE apps only. It's an imperfect solution, I know. :/

Yes, "Minimal overlapping" positions the first window in the corner so that the
next-opened window can be positioned as far as possible away from it, to make
them overlap as little as possible (hence the name). If you don't like this,
you might consider changing the positioning mode to "Centered" or something
else.

OK that's good. So the X11 feature is working correctly within its limitations.

Marking as a duplicate of Bug 427875, which requests a better version of the
feature on Wayland which would apply to all windows automatically.
