    Probably the biggest one is the next piece of the Wayland session restore puzzle clicking into place: David Edmundson has implemented support for the xx-session-management-v1 Wayland session restore protocol in Qt 6.10! This means that software built on top of Qt 6.10 (for example, Plasma and KDE apps) will be able to start implementing the protocol themselves. Once they do, then finally real session restore will work on Wayland

    I hope we’re able to opt out of apps positioning their own Windows. My favorite thing about Wayland is that apps can’t control where their windows open, so they always open in a consistent location chosen by the compositor.

    Annoys me whenever I use Windows, MacOS, or Xwayland apps that open up in seemingly random locations.

      This is still WIP, but will definitely get an option before it’s enabled by default. I too much prefer apps just following my configured placement policy.

      Even worse is when the programs open context Windows somewhere randomly. Like the program is on screen 3 but the popup goes to screen 2, which is as far away from screen 3 as possible (screen 1, laptop, in the middle). For example MS Word loves to do that.
