Bad window placement and geometry not restored
SUMMARY
When a second screen is connected, window placement is bad and geometry is not
restored, with default settings in "Window Management" -> "Window Behavior" ->
"Advanced".
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect a second screen to a laptop
2. Laptop to the left of the external screen, external screen primary display
3. Open apps like Dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
* App window is placed on laptop screen
* For apps like Dolphin, Kate, Konsole etc., geometry is not restored, it seems
to be some internal default instead. Sometimes however, app windows are placed
on the external screen.
So, almost always after opening an app, it needs to be moved to the external
screen/primary display, and the geometry needs to be adjusted manually.
EXPECTED RESULT
* App is placed on the external screen since it is the primary display. Also
the mouse is located on the external screen, and the external screen is empty
has a larger resolution than the laptop screen.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

necessary to fix this.
