And which applications exactly?

The problem with kwin not saving/restoring window attributes (like position and
virtual desktop) has been fixed over a year ago, see bug#341930.

But the applications need to set certain attributes correctly for this to work.
And in particular Qt5 didn't do that (so it still didn't work for KF5/Qt5 based
applications), this should be fixed to in 5.6 at least.

Which "duplicates" are you talking about in particular?
bug#354724 is fixed, bug#338578 is 2 years old and nobody apparently looked at
it since then. AFAICT, it is fixed though (and actually a duplicate of bug# )

If you think such a comment is helpful at all, then you're wrong.

Btw, openSUSE did backport all necessary fixes to previous versions months ago,
and it works fine here since then AFAICT.
Also, all of the problems should be fixed in current versions of Plasma, KDE
Frameworks and Qt5 as mentioned.

But if an application does something wrong, there's not much the desktop can do
about it either.

Just as a side note, GNOME doesn't restart applications on login at all by
default. You can enable it with some "hidden" dconf setting, but it still won't
work with GTK applications, as they don't support the current (introduced in
1993!) session management protocol, and GNOME dropped support for the older one
10 years ago.
Funny enough, KDE/Qt applications do get restored correctly (now) in GNOME as
well.

Apparently session management is just not considered that important any more
nowadays...
