This is not specifically the fault of KDE designers, but I have a suggestion for a remedy. - There's something that happens with yellow sticky note widget when you put one on the screen and reboot the computer... you sometimes get several blank ones up.... - Also there's something that happens with Libre Office Writer, where it does this thing when there are open documents and the computer reboots... multiple extra blank and repeat backed up documents pop up upon restarting Libre office. This is my suggestion... and it requires a lot of work - so who knows if someone will think it's worthwhile: Both these things seem to be a result of the program being in the dark about how many instances it had open at any given time. From my hobbyist programmer experience, I know how difficult it might be to discern this fact, given users can call up instances both from the program's "New" button, and also from the operating system itself, through a shortcut link, or a command in the terminal. I'm not even sure that KDE has something like Windows' "Win32Api..." but if it does... it'd be great to include a module that would allow programs to call up information about the history of instances that have been called by the OS... and the number of instances that are in memory at the present time. Reproducible: Always
