How/where can I get the respective windows to remember their locations and size. I would assume on each app window but have driven myself arounnd several bends trying to figure out which does what so some help would be appreciated.
Under KDE, right click on a window title bar, chose Advanced and then special window settings (or special application settings), whatever seems appropriate.
There's also a section just for these settings in the KDE Control Center (the last settings panel in the "Desktop" group / section). This is one of my most favorite features, especially in late-model KDEs where you can indulge just about every conceivable control-freak impulse you might have. For example, you can exclude certain windows from the task bar or the pager (I apply both of these to my GKrellM window and to the taskbar clock's calendar pop-up window, e.g.). You can control position, virtual desktop assignment, size, maximization in either dimension and on and on. The hard part can be to get the proper criteria for distinguishing the window(s) to which a particular setting applies. Some applications (especially non-KDE applications and most especially Java applications) don't distinguish their windows sufficiently and you cannot apply your preferences to just the windows you like. You can use the internal window descriptors (which are the one's that tend not to be sufficiently refined in non-KDE applications) or base the setting on the window title or title prefix, but sometimes even that's not enough. But all in all, it's a fabulous capability. I've got dozens of them on my system. ("A place for everything, and everything in its place"...)
