I might be offtopic now, but. Hard to say, if remembering position and
size should be on application itself, or on WM. I would say, application
should/must handle it by itself.

I used to be hobby "dev" (10 years ago) on Windows with C# and I had to
write my routine to save window size and position. Luckily it was pretty
easy, few lines of code using Windows Registry and I saved window
dimensions (x, y, width, length attributes) on OnQuit event.

I really wonder, that developers didn't implemented it in own software
in Linux world, rather waiting 20 years to fix it by WM. I know nothing
about development on Linux, but in most dirty way I would save
dimensions in file somewhere in ~/.config and to save HDD/SSD writes,
wouldn't save it on OnResize but only on OnQuit event.

Seems that some KDE apps have it implemented somehow, because Dolphin,
Konsole remember size and position. For example KMail nothing.

I just tested KeePassXC - nothing saves. Clementine saves window size
but not position.
