    I had been led to believe that one of Wayland’s strength was solving the correct window coordinates save-and-restore problem. Does someone know what happened here?

    It’s literally the opposite. Windows aren’t allowed to position themselves on Wayland (because it’s unsafe or something). Window state save restoration must implemented by the compositor itself. Not sure about GNOME, but KDE doesn’t have that.

      Actually KDE has a feature where you can set which display any app shows on, and if it should be maximized horizontally or vertically or both.

      I use that for Firefox specifically, as I always like it on my secondary monitor.

      Just right click on the title bar of any application to get to those settings.

      (I’m using KDE on Fedora.)
