This whole discussing of changing defaults has some merit to it. I personally have been using "Centered" as my default due to problems restoring previously saved sessions with "Smart" placement turned on. Case in point: KPDF.
Usually, if I have one or two KDPF windows open, the system would restore them not as I left them (maximized) but in a quarter of the screen size in the top left corner. This is bad and I haven't noticed this since changing to "Centered". This is probably an unrelated bug but the Smart placement doesn't seem optimal right now, especially for people with small size screens. I would like to hear if users have had similar problems.
Now comes the interesting part: the windows tell KWin where to be put on restore. So what you describe with KPDF is most likely a bug in KPDF.
