For example, sometimes I have 30 Firefox browsers open on various topics, spread across 3 or 4 desktops, plus some PDFs in viewers and a few Konsole sessions and a few Kwrite documents... and a large update comes along that I need to apply that requires a reboot.
This is also a pet peeve of mine. However I think KDE apps do remember their desktop, it's the non-KDE ones that don't. This includes Firefox and Chrome among others.
I'm not a user of saved desktops.
But, I just confirmed that if I have the setting set for "Restore previous session" and if I have a window rule for firefox to be in a certain desktop it will start in that desktop upon logout/login.
I have also found, while testing in a VM, that if you don't have "KillUserProcesses=yes" set in /etc/systemd/logind.conf you can get into a situation where if you logout/login it can result in a black-screen.
Another quirk, even though I'm not running dolphin it gets started in the Desktop I was in when I logged out.
All of this may explain why I don't use that "feature".
