Flatpak: How can you make Opera remember the window size and position?

Unlike all other important browsers Opera has no window-title.
Because of no menu at the edge of the window title its not possible to set some "Special Application Settings ....", like position and size.

How can you set the position and size so that Opera is always launched in the desired position and size?

I am using Manjaro KDE
My commandline looks like this:
run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=opera --file-forwarding com.opera.Opera @@u %U @@

@mtopek yes, it seems, the opera-staff is ignoring linux-user.

This is my partly-solution (in the menu):
Program: usr/bin/flatpak
Command-line-arguments: run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=opera --file-forwarding com.opera.Opera --window-size=2096,1580 --window-position=00,00 @@u %U @@

size seems to work, position is ignored.

btw: vivaldi has a window-header, so its very easy to change the behavier.

@Razwerkz Thanks for this hint!

The point is: ALL the other apps i use can handle this with the standard-functionality, because they have a regular title-bar.

Anyway, i will have a look at your suggestion.
