If I leave a konsole window open at logout (with session management configured to "Restart the previous session"), I get two konsole windows at next login. What's even more strange, they seem to be "clones", if I type something in the one window, the text also appears in the other window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open konsole 2. Logout with konsole open 3. login again Actual Results: Two konsole windows appear. Expected Results: Only one konsole window should appear. This is a regression in 16.08.0, it worked fine with 15.04.3. Also, it only happens with konsole, other applications are not affected. So it's unlikely to be a problem with ksmserver, which I haven't updated anyway.
Additional info: Even if I have two tabs open, the superfluous window only has one tab (which is a "clone" of one of the tabs in the original window).
Created attachment 100649 [details] session file This is reproducible by putting the attached file to ~/.config/session and running: konsole --session 10c26d6967000147146005100000224800009_1471460063_520208 I don't see anything wrong in that session file. So it's probably some bug in the session restoration code, I suppose.
I started seeing the same problem on three PCs I have upgraded yesterday from KDE-applications 16.04.3 to 16.08.0 (using Neon repositories on Ubuntu). Everything worked fine on 16.04.3 If I create a new user with an empty directory and login (this recreates all KDE settings), everything works fine - after logout/login only one konsole window is restored. Another interesting thing: if I specify a bogus session, e.g. $ konsole --session aaa Attempted to re-run an already running session. it always opens two konsole windows! Alex
I said in my post: "If I create a new user with an empty directory and login (this recreates all KDE settings), everything works fine - after logout/login only one konsole window is restored." I tried this (logout/loging several times) yesterday and everything worked fine - but I have just tried to login as that 'new' user again, and this time two konsole windows are restored! Alex

Indeed, I can confirm that. So even easier to reproduce... ;-) The problem does occur on a fresh user account (with a completely empty home directory) too. The message about "Attempted to re-run an already running session." seems to be unrelated though, this is also displayed when I run the KDE4 version with "--session xxx" (which only opens one window as it should).
This bug is due to'konsoleApp.newInstance() being called always, even when session Restoration is in effect. As a workaround, I've patched as follows: --- konsole-16.08.0.old/src/main.cpp 2016-08-09 19:01:34.000000000 -0400 +++ konsole-16.08.0.new/src/main.cpp 2016-08-25 20:58:20.973978896 -0400 @@ -158,15 +158,13 @@ extern "C" int Q_DECL_EXPORT kdemain(int // of Konsole is started.
