Description alekksander 2019-10-23 10:21:39 UTC

Session restore doesn't remember whole session so applications like Caprine are not restored. Caprine on my system is installed from .deb


to reproduce:
1. Install Caprine, run it 
2. Log Out from session or Restart PC
3. Caprine not brought back


expectations:
Caprine is restored with remaining applications

This is KDE neon 5.17, but bug was occurring in 5.16, and probably 5.15 as well.

Applications need to follow the standard session protocol in order to get restored correctly.

Please also report to caprine. If they claim they have session restore then reopen this and we'll investigate what might be going wrong between us.
