> Session restorage has nothing to do with single/multiuser questions.
It's about session restarts, not about multiple sessions.

True. But if you have a single monitor and a single keyboard to share
between multiple users, you have people stopping and starting sessions
all the time. The only condition where you do not need that is when you
have a single user, who can just lock or suspend the machine when he is
not using it, I guess. Session restart is the "suspend" of the poor man
who has to work on a multiuser system sharing the seat.

Apart from that, thanks to Thomas and Martin for the pointers and the
clarifications about the patches. Let me recap to see if I understand
correctly:

1) One definitely needs commit 3442664609284ea201d50f6da27222c706a75c8e
on kwin. Can it be expected to apply over stable kwin 5.3.1? If so,
backporting onto kubuntu kwin should be relatively easy.

2) Furthermore, one needs to patch QT5 with:

0001-Forward-QWidget-windowRole-to-QPlatformWindow.patch

from https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-45484, that can be safely
backported to 5.4.1 as shipped by kubuntu vivid (has already been done
by a Fedora developer). And

0002-xcb-set-SM_CLIENT_ID-property.patch

from  https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46310. Which I do not know
if is expected to apply cleanly on 5.4.1 (does anyone know btw?).

Is this all?
