You state most X11 applications will store position and open there again, but
is that the case with windows being managed by kwin? Under system-settings
WindowManagement -> WindowBehaviour -> Advanced tab, there is the Placement
dropbox, listing options of:

Smart, Maximizing, Cascade, Random, Centered, Zero-Cornered, Under Mouse.

None of these seem to imply they'd respect that default X11 window position
behaviour for most applications on X11 you're stating?

I understand that it might not be perfect, but if it's as reliable as the kwin
rule can be "Remember" perhaps making that an option instead of requiring a
user to manually enforce the window rule, it could be listed with the rest of
those placement options?

What is the situation with Wayland? Better or worse for implementing it? This
desired behaviour recently came up on r/kde.
