Bug ID: 483615
Summary: Konsole windows no longer saved/respawned
automatically via saving session on logout (at least
for Konsole windows)
Classification: KDE Neon
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Live/Install images
Assignee: neon-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jmb_...@gmx.net
CC: j...@jriddell.org, neon-b...@kde.org, sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
I open several programs incl. a lot of konsole windows (~72 about 8 virtual
desktops;
oldschool way of working with a workstation ;).
Configuration: "Settings - Session - Desktop session - Session restore:
launching ... open: on last logout"
which worked perfectly with KDE5.
I have not looked for more programs - but Firefox and Thunderbird is
restarted after having started them now ... never worked for Konsole
since KDE 6.0.0 on my system.
I also changed the setting, rebooted, changed it back ... never worked
under 6.0.0|2.
It did work with other OS - and KDE neon with up to 5.27.10,
but was no longer working with update to 6.0.0 and unfortunately
no change with next update to 6.0.2.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configuring session save after reboot to restore session
2. Open several konsole windows ...
3. Rebooting - an no konsole window is present at all ...
OBSERVED RESULT
No konsole window is respawned after booting the system.
EXPECTED RESULT
All konsole windows present bedore boot are respawned after booting
with correct size, directory and position for all virtual desktops (I use 8 in
a row).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE neon current [Ubuntu 22.04 LTS based]
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
... would not think any other thing could be of relevance
... should be reproducable on any HW ...
I am a former Unix specialist - so if you need futher details
or have problems to reproduce this problem,
just ask with some explanation what to do / send to you
for clarification.

Thanks for your good job!
End of Problem description!
If the rest would be a reasonable bug report please say so and
I will create it ... but may be helpful when looking at the problem -
at least I hope so ...
#
# * Little off-topic - about finding a workaround for that problem
# (currently, I can not work as I need a lot of konsole-Windows
# which take a lot of time to get 72 of them in right size and position
# after each boot):
#
# I tried creating konsole windows with fixed size and positions, but
# while size of window was accepted, the position did not work - it always
# emerge in the middle of screen and title can not be set:
# konsole --qwindowgeometry 400x400+50+50 --workdir
'/home2/jmb/mytex/presentation_jmb/' --hide-menubar --hide-tabbar
--notransparency --qwindowtitle 'JMB_Term_1' &
#
# -> "JMB_Term_1" does not work - maybe a console setting ... will check.
# -> --qwindowgeometry was found via command 'konsole --help-all' under
# KDE 6.0.2 but first two parameters work (width and height of window) but
# next parameters have no meaning ... always respawning in the middle.
# -> There seems to be no Konsole Manual for version 6 yet
# (KDE5_konsole_handbook.pdf is not helping - I think).
#
# Im not sure if the 8 virtual screen (6x 8k in a row) should be positions
# just by incresing x position - as it worked several years before using KDE
# working with XFCE, e.g.:
# xfce4-terminal --geometry 80x22+1530+1509
--working-directory=/home/user/mails -T "User@`hostname` `date +%a.,\ %d.%m.%Y\
%H:%M:%S`" &
#
# Some explanations may be helpful for a lot of KDE users concerning
# CLI usage of konsoles for scripting - I guess.
