Description Dominik Kummer 2021-09-18 01:59:20 UTC

SUMMARY
Custom .desktop entries created with right-click on Kickoff->Edit Applications... and custom shell parameters (e.g. `falkon --no-remote --wmclass="falkon develop" --profile develop %u`) does not restore with same shell parameters. Which breaks kwin ruleset for several falkon instances after reboot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. right-click on Kickoff->Edit Applications...
2. copy "Falkon" entry, rename it to "Falkon Develop"
3. extend shell command to `falkon --no-remote --wmclass="falkon develop" --profile develop %u`
4. start Falkon instance
5. save session
6. logout/login

OBSERVED RESULT
Default falkon instance is started without custom parameters

EXPECTED RESULT
Custom falkon instance started with new parameters

Is it really a duplicate? The other bug is shortcut related, right? But this one is about session restoration. Is it related behind the scenes?

Hmm, maybe you're right.

Moving to ksmserver which handles session restoration.
