I don't know anyone who does that. The assumption is that logging off
should signal every running process to quit cleanly. That's what
SIGTERM is for
and obviously KDE at logout don't send clean SIGTERM in all cases or
fire similar to systemd SIGKILL to not fast enough exited applications
which can happen too soon if your machine is under load and so takes
longer - if a logout would wait 15 minutes we would have another thread
any common sense tells me for 15 years it's better to quit applications
cleanly by hand on any OS
what's te purpose of all that "session restore" stuff?
wether a machine is running and in use, locked because used in
background or suspended
