SUMMARY
If I have evolution (mail client) opened and switch TTY to something without an X session and then back, evolution will then display an error message. Although evolution is not a KDE application, I think this might have to do with KDE software, since (a) X-related things are handled by kwin, (b) a similar issue occurs when logging out of a plasma session and then logging in again (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433293).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch evolution (mail client).
2. With the evolution window still opened, switch TTYs through e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F2 (or some other F<number>).
3. Switch back to the TTY that has the X session with evolution.

OBSERVED RESULT
Oftentimes, evolution will show a warning about streaming operation being unable to complete, which stays there until the application is closed and launched again.

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing special should happen.

Evolution isn't a KDE app, and the TTY switching system isn't in KDE code either. This isn't an issue in any KDE software, so I would encourage yo to report it to the Evolution developers.
