Hi - just to check, are you able to reproduce this on a new user account on your device? (In reply to John Kizer from comment #1) > Hi - just to check, are you able to reproduce this on a new user account on > your device? Hi, yes, just checked. Same story on a freshly opened user account. Thanks, and just double-checking, does uninstalling and reinstalling the distribution package for Dolphin change anything? Does the Flathub Flatpak version of Dolphin show the same behavior? Thanks!

Both uninstalling/reinstalling and flatpak version of Dolphin result in this same behavior. And just to tighten this: I install it, first run it opens the window, second run it doesn't open the window (but shows up in the taskbar as an open window). Most likely a related bug here: Scenario: - FreeBSD stable/14, latest ports (dolphin-25.04.0) Result: - When logging in, N dolphin windows pop up; N increases with every login - It turns out that even after closing these dolphin windows, the associated processes continue running - It turns out that in .config/session there are many files like 'dolphin_1015911116bda000174505538300000031390012_1745262579_152759', all of them containing only the following: [Number] NumberOfWindows=0 Result (continued): - After opening dolphin via the start menu and then closing it, a dolphin process remains Expected result: - Dolphin should stop running if no window is shown - On startup, no dolphin windows which did not exist when terminating the previous session should be shown -- Martin (In reply to Martin from comment #6) > Most likely a related bug here: > > Scenario: > - FreeBSD stable/14, latest ports (dolphin-25.04.0) > > Result: > - When logging in, N dolphin windows pop up; N increases with every login > - It turns out that even after closing these dolphin windows, the associated > processes continue running > - It turns out that in .config/session there are many files like > 'dolphin_1015911116bda000174505538300000031390012_1745262579_152759', all of > them containing only the following: > > [Number] > NumberOfWindows=0 > > Result (continued): > - After opening dolphin via the start menu and then closing it, a dolphin > process remains > > Expected result: > - Dolphin should stop running if no window is shown > - On startup, no dolphin windows which did not exist when terminating the > previous session should be shown > > -- Martin I don't think so. I have no processes running after I close the Dolphin window... Could you perhaps check the system journal to see what messages are recorded there at the time that the issue occurs? For example, if you observed the issue at 4:30 PM today, you could use `sudo journalctl --since="2025-04-25 16:29:00" --until="2025-04-25 16:31:00"` to look at the surrounding couple of minutes and see if any major crashes, errors or warnings are being reported there.
