Description Thomas Bettler 2026-02-10 16:45:15 UTC 
SUMMARY
running kdeconnect from multiple user sessions on a single multi seat machine renders itself undetectable (i.e. android app won't detect no desktop)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run single kdeconnect (desktop application)
2. observe android app detects kdeconnect desktop as expected
3. run multiple kdeconnect (desktop application) using multiple user sessions in parallel 

OBSERVED RESULT
- no kdeconnect can be detected anymore (even though it's allowed on multiple ports)

EXPECTED RESULT
- detect multiple kdeconnect sessions
