I wanted to point out three things in my comment, but apparently managed to mix them up.

1. Yes, what I described is the lack of the feature in the Gnome / Cinnamon ecosystem as a whole. However, at least some applications (and key applications like Terminal, Synaptic, etc.) do it, which makes it a much more acceptable experience than in KDE (speaking from memory here, but the issue is still open, so...)
2. The fact that some applications do it means it is possible, and was possible even with X11.
3. While this issue was opened against KWin, we users don't care where the solution will land. If it can only be done on the toolkit level (which is probably better than forcing each app/developer to implement it separately), so be it.
