Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It would be nice if the "Restore session" after a crash would be a bit smarter. Basically it should only restore windows/tabs/pages which are not already running. (Alternatively it could display a list of pages to be restored, so one could tick off unwanted entries)

For example sometimes Konqueror detects a crash during shutdown. In this case however the session has already been saved by the KDE session manager before the crash and all windows will be properly restored on next login anyway. On login also the "Restore session" dialog pops up, and when you restore you have everything twice ... can be very annoying,  because you don't know beforehand what will be restored, and especially with many windows (as makes the system busy for a while when loading and you have close them all manually).

Another example is when the entire	system crashes. Then usually on next login a part of the windows/tabs/pages which were open at the time of the system crash are restored from the previous session by the KDE session manager. "Restore session" however also restores everything, including those ...
