This issue has been open for 20 years; I added myself to the CC list 10 years ago, when I was still using KDE. So even if it is a difficult problem, KDE has had all the time in the world to fix it.

Incidentally, on Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, some apps remember their size, some remember their position as well, while others open in the middle of the screen in a default size. It was probably the same for Gnome back in 2009 before I switched to KDE. It's nowhere near optimal, but it shows that the information is (was) there.

You might be right in saying that this is not a KWin issue, but should be handled in KDE core or wherever. Rest assured, that's completely fine with us, as long as this feature gets implemented somewhere. People using KDE probably mostly use K* apps anyway (with the exception of browsers and Libre Office, which remember their positions).
