--- Comment #8 from Luke Horwell <c...@horwell.me> ---
Tried your patch on Arch Linux by rebuilding kate 24.12.1 + 1697.patch.
I don't see much difference with the patch for this particular bug, under X11.
Wayland is fine. All I noticed is the menu bar did disappear once "Restore
Window Configuration=false" was added in kwriterc, and it remembers my
preference (menu bar visible) on next launch.

A quick recap of this bug:

- Only affects X11 session. Wayland works fine.
- Only affects KWrite. Kate works fine.
- With minimal overlapping set in Plasma, KWrite opens in buggy 'minimal'
positions (overlapping a window, opening in same spot, etc).
- On X11, manually adding "Restore Window Configuration=false" under [General]
in ~/.config/kwriterc fixes the buggy overlapping, but the height/width is no
longer remembered. [see workaround]
- On Wayland, don't add "Restore Window Configuration=false". This is the
default.
- This GUI option to change this setting is missing in KWrite.

Workaround (for X11):
- Add line to ~/.config/kwriterc [see above].
- Add a window rule to set a height/width (and possibly force "Ignore geometry"
for good measure). Now on par with how a Dolphin window behaves.

Since it seems to be only me with this issue, and with X11 being deprecated
long-term, the status quo with the above workaround works for me. I don't mind
if this is closed as a WONTFIX. 

However, a possible solution for this bug could be to add the missing "Include
window configuration" checkbox (in the "Session Elements" group) for KWrite
too.
