Very strongly supported. There should be some way to define strict, unchangeable
by application itself position and size of initial window. All child windows
(optionally) should have the same size. Cascading windows should use the same
initial position incremented by some defineable steps (default values depending
of screen resolution).

This feature will be valuable specially with business people. Take a look on
business people desktops: most of them want their mail app, text editor, browser
etc. exactly on positions they like, not everywhere decided by some optimization
algorithm. I know :-) I want myself all things on my 1600*1200 desktop to be on
their defined positions, because I am used to that order and do not want to
distract my attention seeking where the hell KMail opened this time and why it
is so small this morning - I need to resize it and bring back to its right place
anyway. Annoying. So to say we need hammer and nails to fix at least main KDE
apps in places they should be forever. Title option Save Settings _doesnt_ do
this, BTW. It too often forgets about place and size.
