In Plasma versions < 5.24, a bug in the KWin scripting system [[1]](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411430) [[2]](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444378) may cause the configuration not to be found. To fix this, please execute the following commands in a terminal:
52+
53+
```bash
54+
sed -i 's/ConfigModule/Library/g' ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/tilegaps/metadata.desktop
55+

### Window class
61+
62+
To find the window class name of an application: Right-click on the titlebar of a window of the application > *More Actions* > *Configure Special Application Settings...* > the pre-filled entry in *Window class (application)* (if it consists of two words, only the second part) is the window class to put in the script configuration.

- If some applications still open on the wrong screen, consider disabling applications requesting their own window geometry (this features only exists on X11): *System Settings* > *Window Management* > *Window Behavior* > *Advanced* > *Window placement* > *Allow apps to remember the positions of their own windows, if they support it*.
47-
- Some XWayland applications may attempt to remember their window position; this can be prevented with a window rule, as suggested [here](https://github.com/nclarius/KWin-window-positioning-scripts/issues/11#issuecomment-1091979196): *System Settings* > *Window Management* > *Window Rules* > *Add New...* > enter the window class of the application and possibly restrict the window type to normal windows > *Add Property..* > *Ignore requested geometry* > *Force*, *Yes* > *Apply*.

- It has been suggested that the script might not work for snap applications; if this appears to be the case for you, consider using native packages instead.

- Notifications do not follow the placement request. The only thing that can be done about this at the moment is to leave a vote at the [bug report](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=452294) for this to be addressed in core Plasma.
50-
- Some applications (e.g. Spotify) may still open on the wrong screen despite these workarounds. I have not yet figured out how to fix this. If you do, please let me know!

- If some applications still open on the wrong screen despite these workarounds, please report it, even more so if you have an idea what the problem might be or how to fix it.
