--- Comment #3 from Martin Flöser <mgraess...@kde.org> --- Unfortunately that's mostly out of our control. I would love to be able to control it, because it would mean we can do sane things. But the ICCCM standard describes what a window manager is allowed to do: "To indicate that the size and position of the window (when a transition from the Withdrawn state occurs) was specified by the user, the client should set the USPosition and USSize flags, which allow a window manager to know that the user specifically asked where the window should be placed or how the window should be sized and that further interaction is superfluous. To indicate that it was specified by the client without any user involvement, the client should set PPosition and PSize ." The idea is that for a user specified position the window manager does not "improve" the position. Unfortunately many windows set it although it's not user specified. We could ignore it, but then we would get bug reports about windows opening at random position and not at the last one. With other words: we are in a position where we always lose. On Wayland the situation is improved, there KWin positions the windows - always. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
