Thank you for work around. I will test it.
Your previous answer "Apps still need to support it" means that the support
will be provided in the future (maybe in Plasma 6.4 yet)?
Anyway I hope so, because now we have regression compare to Plasma 5 or Plasma
6 and X11 session and soon we will have 6.4 version...

[Nate] "Native Wayland windows are not allowed to determine where to place
themselves on screen at all; the compositor does this."
I'm confused a bit. Firstly you said that applications need to support it, and
Nate saying that "the compositor does this.". So how exactly is?
I found that doesn''t it (windows position seem isn't save) and reported it,
because I supposed that "the compositor does this."
