            Bug ID: 429340
           Summary: Request: remember window positions per desktop, not
                    global
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
In recent versions of plasma, windows of a given application will open
remembering their last position.

I find this behavior annoying for some applications, because I *always* want
them at different places in different virtual desktops - for example, I usually
have a virtual desktop in which I have a konsole running for typing commands on
demand (which is on the center), and another one in which there is a konsole
instance logging what some windowed app launched from it produces (which is in
a corner, with the app window taking focus).

Would be nice if the positions would be remembered on a per-desktop basis
instead.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch some app in virtual desktop 1.
2. Close said app.
3. Switch to virtual desktop 2, launch app again, move its window.
4. Switch back to virtual desktop 1 and launch the app.

OBSERVED RESULT
Opens at the position in which it was closed in desktop 2.

EXPECTED RESULT
Should open at the position in which it was closed in desktop 1.
