KDE's Smart window placement always annoying me where it randomly scatters windows you open where it thinks you want it, which always it NOT where I want the window. IIRC X doesn't support remembering the positioning of where windows were after closing them, as does Microsoft Windows since probably what, Windows 95 or 98?
No OS supports remembering the window position. It's always a feature of the application. If you want this on KDE, right click on the little icon in the top left corner of your windows -> More Actions ... -> Special Settings for this Window (translated from German). Its not a very comfortable feature, though. So in a sense, KDE is even better at this than Windows because it works for any application on KDE. On Windows, it only works for applications which ask for it. Unless you install extensions which tend to make Windows unstable.
The fact that Wayland barely works and X is a hodge-podge disaster based on code from 1983, just further prooves that Linux (and this includes openSUSE) on the desktop, when we're comparing graphics and GUI's, is behind Windows and has a LONG way to go until it's "feature complete" on on par with Windows. How much longer are we all going to have to wait, and by that time how much further ahead will Windows be? Don't be a fanboy, be a realist.
This only proves that active developers don't care for some kind of function which you deem essential. As always with open source: Fire up your editor or pay someone to implement the feature or beg long enough. OSS is a survival of the fittest at its very core. It sucks if you're a minority. I, for one, have never found a system which places windows in a good way. I rely on sleep/hibernate to keep applications where I want them. Regards, -- Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla a.k.a.
