Description
Karousel version: 0.16
Plasma version: 6.6.3
X11 / Wayland: X11
Description:
This is a very minor inconvenience that I've been having. I use a feature in Plasma called On login, launch apps that were open (In System Settings, Session -> Desktop Session -> Session Restore). After logging into the system, application windows that were open in the last session are reopened, and they preserve their sizes on the screen, but whether they were tiled or not seems to be lost. So if I open a new window, it gets tiled, but when I try to scroll between the windows I can't, I have to Alt+Tab to the other window, tile it and then scroll works.
Over time, I just got used to this behavior and I remember to first tile the windows before doing anything else.
Is this expected behavior? A limitation of KWin Scripts?

Research direction
Reproduce the session-restore scenario on Plasma 6.6.3 using X11, with Karousel 0.16 and previously tiled windows. Then inspect the KWin script's handling of restored windows to determine whether tile state can be preserved; done means either restoring that state or documenting the confirmed KWin limitation.
