I have also tried to create a generic Window Rule trying to achieve that KDE is 
remembering all windows individually or at least group all windows with the 
same window title.
Specifically when using Firefox with 20+ open windows it's very annoying when 
they all open in the same spot overlapping each other. Unfortunately no 
combination of using ".*" regular expression or defining "Unimportant" for 
class or type worked as expected.
I would be OK if I have two Firefox windows (same class) and identical tab URL 
active (same window title) opening in same location and size. But mostly the 
windows are having a distinct title and I would like to make KDE remember size 
and position for each window with this title individually. Without having to 
create a manual rule for each window before closing it.

So KDE would actually have to save the location and size for each unique
set of class and title.

While this sounds easy I am rather also thinking about how to clean up
this "database" of class/title matches as an ever-growing list of titles
stored might cause waste of resources. Thinking about it KDE might just
store another set of class/title list when a process is closed and
discard all earlier saved values for windows with titles which do not
exist any more at time of closing the class. Not sure if that makes
sense. At least it's very annoying having to re-arrange all windows of
multi-window applications like Firefox on each start.
