The window manager is often responsible for storing and automatically restoring this info for specific windows of apps, and each one handles it differently. I don't know how the default KDE WM handles this, but that is the place to look. Sometimes the WM might have an option in the window popup menu for remembering or storing location (including desktop). jlc
