--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
One potential problem with switching defaults is that sometimes the optimal
choice isn't represented by any of them. In such a case, changing them around
will simply benefit some at the expense of others, when what's really needed is
more design work to arrive at something that's better for everyone (or at least
most people).

For example, while the "Under mouse" placement mode would solve the problem of
the window opening on the wrong screen, you may not actually want it to be
directly under the cursor, and a different placement mode within that screen
may be preferable. There is currently (to my knowledge) no option for "always
open new window on the screen with the mouse, but otherwise respect the
specified Placement mode".

One option I would personally like is "on the screen with the mouse cursor,
centered, with additional windows cascading if more are opened." Such a thing
is not possible today.

Initial window placement is probably a subject that needs to be looked at more
in depth by VDG rather than just changing the default settings from one to
another.
