Wayland session restore has never worked for me, and I believe is listed as a current bug.

It appears that something has broken the KDE/Plasma/X11 manual session restore system again. When I try this with my setup (Intel Graphics, dual monitor, 10 virtual desktops) and with Thunderbird, Firefox, Dolphin and about 12 kconsoles opened on various virtual desktops they reappear mainly on the first screen of the first desktop but with various manual session save appear on what seems to be random desktops and screens. Playing around with a test user it sometimes works and sometimes fails, quite flaky.

I believe this is a known bug in KDE, and probably one of the most annoying ones! But from the comments in the bug tracker I got the feeling that there is currently nobody that is familiar enough with the code to fix this issue. Also, the code is quite involved, so nothing a newbie could get quickly on top of. Some of the bug reports are specific to certain configurations (such as having an external screen), but in my experience this fails in other configurations as well. Here are the most promising bug reports (one of them is 21 years old, but still/again relevant!!!): https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427875 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390295 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15329 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=435357 On Mon, Dec 27, 2021 at 10:36 PM Patrick O'Callaghan <pocallaghan(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > On Mon, 2021-12-27 at 07:10 +0000, Terry Barnaby wrote: >> It appears that something has broken the KDE/Plasma/X11 manual >> session >> restore system again. >> >> When I try this with my setup (Intel Graphics, dual monitor, 10 >> virtual >> desktops) and with Thunderbird, Firefox, Dolphin and about 12 >> kconsoles >> opened on various virtual desktops they reappear mainly on the first >> screen of the first desktop but with various manual session save >> appear >> on what seems to be random desktops and screens.
