Description Swâmi Petaramesh 2015-04-30 09:53:09 UTC

Description of problem:

I have a KDE multi-physical-screen configuration and use KDE with mutiple (6) desktops.

When logging into KDE, it automatically reopens the applications windows that were running last time the KDE session was closed.

Using FC 21 and KDE 4.x, it was perfect :
- KDE session was starting on the desktop where it was when I left
- All applications were opened on the virtual desktop and physical screen where they had previously been running.

Using FC 22 beta and KDE Plasma 5 it doesn't work anymore :
- KDE session starts on the desktop where it was when I left
- But all applications and windows open on the CURRENT virtual desktop and 1st physical screen.

So it appears that their "desktop location" info has been lost.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

plasma-desktop-5.3.0-1.fc22.x86_64


How reproducible:

100% reproductible


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDE
2. Configure it to use several virtual desktops (if needed)
3. Open several applications on different desktops
4. End session
5. Login again


Actual results:
- All apps and windows reopen on CURRENT virtual desktop


Expected results:
- All apps and windows should reopen on the virtual desktop on which they were previously running (as it did with all previous KDE versions)

Comment 1 info@kobaltwit.be 2015-08-25 13:28:29 UTC

I'm using activities instead of virtual desktops. The same happens in that configuration.

I have 5 activities and open applications on each of them. On the next login the applications are all opened on the first activity that got opened (which is not necessarily the first in the list).

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 20:09:05 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
