Quoted from Jarne Cook, in description of Bug 97718:

"I see kwin now has the extreme advanced window settings dialog.  In there I can set \
each app to have it's size/pos remembered.  This is a nice feature but it's is very \
inconvenient.  To have to right click for every application is just overboard."

Agree. Not only one need to set each app to have it's size/pos remembered but in fact \
it's necessary for every _window_.  For exampe, I need to set RClick -> Advanced -> \
Store window settings for EACH WINDOW I use with Mozilla (and there usually are lot's \
of Mozilla windows on my desktop, and I don't like tabs, thank you). If I have used \
previously e.g. not more than 6 Mozilla windows and decide to open the seventh one, \
it will pop up in some hard to predict weird position and I will have to adjust it \
and set "Store window settings" for it individually. 

Well, this is better than not to have any position/size remembering at all (like it \
used to be some time ago), but nevertheless "overboard". 

In my humble opinion it would be much better if option "Remember" will refer to whole \
application and it's windows, by default according window placement policy.  For \
example, if I have set Placement as "Cascade" and set "Remember" with main \
application window, then additional windows should come up cascaded (if not set \
specifically with "Remember").
