Subject: [gentoo-user] KDE reboot not preserving running applications

1 Hello list,
2
3 Since about the time of the last batch of plasma upgrades (I forget whether it was applications, frameworks or Qt), every time I reboot the box from the KDE reboot dialogue, when I log in again I get duplicated apps and others with forgotten places and sizes.
4
5 The attached screenshot shows a desktop with an empty KMail ready to receive imported messages and generally get going, together with gkrellm showing three computers.
6
7 After a reboot I get "Too many clients" from the remote krells, the local krell is absent (and if I restart it it comes up in the centre of the screen) and Firefox attempts to run two instances. I have to pkill the lot and start them again.
8
9 If I stop these programs before rebooting, all is well when I restart them later, so I suspect the KDE/plasma setup is the guilty party.
10
11 I've reinstalled the complete system on bare silicon, created new accounts for myself, and anything else I can think of, just to be sure that I have nothing untoward hanging about.
12
13 Is anyone else having this problem?
