I have to correct this statement. KWin does not seem to correctly
implement the remember position feature.
I clearly remember I somehow triggered the desired behavior but I can
no longer reproduce in KDE 4.6
Therefore to anyone interested in closing this longstanding issue (and
as a tl;dr for my previous post):
Please have a look at the implementation in OS X and/or Windows. Their
window managers are the only ones having this feature by default and
fully transparent to the user. Their implementations have been tested
and used over decades now - and they are surprisingly similar... I
wouldn't deviate from them without serious long term usability
testing.
