Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

 I am using 6 virtual desktops in KDE Plasma. Normally, I keep Gmail on desktop 1, Google on desktop 2, and Telegram on desktop 6.

When the system requests a reboot after updating packages, the session restore feature does not maintain the window positions. Upon rebooting, the application windows (Gmail, Google, Telegram) do not open in their respective virtual desktops. Instead, they either overlap on a single desktop or get randomly scattered across different ones (for example, opening on desktop 5 or 6 instead of their original places).

I expected KDE to remember the exact virtual desktop for each application window and restore them precisely where they were before the reboot.
