And if the window manager doesn't do this the user has to move their 
windows around again upon start?
Especially when working on big displays where the user wants to have 
certain placements for different programs
it would be helpful also to restore the position on the screen 
automatically.

The size is being restored, at least for a couple of programs I checked 
(konsole, kwrite, dolphin). Is this done by kwin?
I don't think there is a big practical difference from the user 
perspective between "restoring the size" and "restoring the position"
with respect to "you know too much"...
