Position is depend on "placement" -> https://i.imgur.com/tzwJ1Lk.png

First show() always depend on "placement" i.e. if widget was shown when leave session it will shown on right place, if was hidden first show depend on "placement".

Means that the no-WM path in QWidget/QWindow doesn't set USPosition/PPosition
Is or is related to QTBUG-40584.
You can check that by running xprop on such (placed) window, it should have some
user specified location: <x> <y>
or
program specified location: <x> <y>
If not, then the window doesn't signal the WM that it was explicitly positioned (and will be placed on map requests)</pre>

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
program specified minimum size: 300 by 166
program specified maximum size: 32767 by 32767
window gravity: NorthWest</p></pre>

Every restored session app cannot use kwindowsystem. This depends of cpu speed, it can be faster enough to start wm before ksmserver restore apps and kwindowsystem will be usable.</p></pre>
