KDE4/Plasma session restore does not work correctly

I was running KDE4 until last week, now running Plasma 5. But the following did happen in KDE4 as well as in new Plasma 5.

KDE4/Plasma session restore does not work correctly. Although for example konsole is opened when logging out, sometimes (not every time) konsole will not be restored again after login.

Furthermore virtual desktop number of any application will be ignored, too, i.e. all restored windows willl be placed on virtual desktop 1 after login.

Any chance to get a solution?

Re: KDE4/Plasma session restore does not work correctly

This is a widely known bug in QT 5 for which no resolution exists yet. If you google for QT5 session restore bug you should find quite a few references. There isn't much KDE can do about this except for waiting that QT 5 fixes their session restore. (Before you ask why it happens in KDE4 as well, this doesn't matter if the underlying application uses QT5, which your given example, konsole, does)
