Good hint!

Similar, but slightly different, messages here – on all machines affected, one
example of many identical:

2024-08-06T01:12:45.845617+02:00 systemname kscreenlocker_greet[25446]: Qt:
Session management error: networkIdsList argument is NULL

I suspect a bug in the newly implemented option to explicitly manually save and
restore sessions …

(Which IMHO is conceived quite sub-optimally: 
The save option is only present when the system is configured to only manually
restore sessions – but you have to restart your session to have the "save
option" turn up :-(

Much better would have been IMHO:
You always have the option to manually save your session state with a name of
your choice.
The automatic saving of the session at logout (name "last session") can be
toggled.
If there is more than one saved and named session state available, you are
offered the choice …
)
