Problem is that applications mentioned in next sentence are not restored after relogin. > I suppose there is a typo in there... ;-) Sorry for typo. English grammar is not my strength, se better would be when "are" has been replaced with "were" or usage: "there are not restored". > > I tested: Firefox, Thunderbird and new Opera.

About Firefox you are right. I retested it again and I can say that in Antergos Firefox is built using GTK3. > So this might just be your point of regression... The regression is that none of GTK2 and GTK3 applications there are not restored. This is regression comparing to previous Plasma, because In ver. 5.5.x it was working. I tested Kubuntu 16.04. BTW in Plasma 5 provided by this distribution applications based on KF are not restored. I'm not going to evolve this topic. Anyway they plan update to Plasma 5.6.x. > No idea about the others though. But I'm sure that the last two were built using GTK2. My test was following. I changed "Style of GNOME application" in "System Settings" and just restarted all tested applications. > > All tested by me KF applications (konsole, > > kwrite, dolphin) are restored correctly (including virtual desktop number). > > This proves IMHO that your problem is unrelated to *this* bug report, or the > other one I marked this as duplicate of, which is about a problem in Qt5 as > explained. Subject is "Plasma doesn't restore everything after a reboot". So maybe is too general. Author reported this bug wrote about problem with Konsole, Dolphin, Kate and restoring them including their opened tabs. After several posts someone started typing about most general problems with restoring other applications. Never mind. So maybe my problem is only partially related to reported problem. > > In Plasma 5.5.4 (ksmserver probably has the same version) Firefox and > > Thunderbird were restored correctly. > > There has been no change to ksmserver (except see above), so another prove > that this is not the same bug. So where is placed the bug? In Plasma 5.5.4 GTK applications are restored correctly and in 5.6.4 don't. >From my perspective it looks like some informations necessary to restore GTK based applications are not saved into ksmserverrc. Even after hardcoded them in this file, they exist only till first relogin/restart. After that they disappear.

What happened? Developers of couple distributions made some mistake? In the past I tested also KaOS with Plasma 5.4.x and later after update to Plasma 5.6.x. Testing the newest KaOS I observe the same issue like in Antergos. KaOS doesn't base on Arch packages instead of Antergos. I wonder what will bring Plasma 5.6.4 (currently tested) in Kubuntu 16.04. I mean of course issue of restoring GTK and KF5 applications. > According to the commit message it shouldn't be a problem though... For me it is hard to say if XSM technology could affect on restoring GTK applications. I don't know what testes made author this fix after applying it in code. I mean simple test: whether GTK and KF applications are restored or not. I and others can say only that it stopped work. > If you are able to build plasma/ksmserver from source, I would recommend to > do so with this patch reverted and see if it works then. This is the easiest way to prove/not prove that author of this patch didn't retest your fix properly. Yes. I'm able to build plasma-workspace package, what contains ksmserver. Maybe I will make such test in the future. > > And if for you and for Paolo Carlini it is working then to who should to > > report the bug? > > Good question, I don't know really. > Maybe GTK3, or the applications affected. As I mentioned issue is related to GTK2 (new Opera, thunderbird) and GTK3 (Firefox). > Or, as it might be a ksmserver bug after all (I never ruled that out), file > a *new* bug report here. Some time ago (May 4th) I just reported it here in bug: 362671 (no answer). I reported it also in Antergos forum (with no answer). I'm going to report it also in KaOS forum. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
