--- Comment #81 from Raman Gupta <rocketra...@gmail.com> ---
In https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470318#c1 Nate explained that X11 apps
are allowed to save and restore their own window positions. So I'm guessing
that this bug has been open for almost 23 years because this ceased to be an
issue on X11, as every app implemented this on their own.

However, Nate also explains in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470318#c1
that on Wayland, apps are no longer allowed to restore their own window
positions. This can be seen easily with Firefox.

MOZ_DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox 
Firefox running via XWayland is able to remember its own window position
(though there is some visual jank as the windows position in the default spot,
and then move to the remembered position).

But when running firefox natively on Wayland, window positions are not
remembered.

Nate's comment in late 2020 was about purported progress in Wayland, but this
is still not working in 2023. Now that Wayland will not allow apps to remember
their own positions, I hope that renewed focus will be applied to this nearly
23 year old issue. For me, this is a showstopper issue for Wayland adoption, as
I have many carefully positioned windows with browsers and IDEs and its a major
pain to continually reposition Windows across every restart.
