Are you talking about the one under "Startup -> New windows -> Show on startup"
which has two options:
- Folders, tabs, and window state from last time
- [a specific folder]

But this one also applies when I close all Dolphin windows and then launch
Dolphin from scratch. When I do so, of course I do want it to reopen my last
window with the tabs that I had in it. If I change that setting, it will apply
in this case too, and I don't want that. So that's a reasonable default (but I
do see the need for a setting, i.e. I understand why others may prefer to
always start from a given folder).

But when I open a new window BY DOUBLE CLICKING ON A SPECIFIC FOLDER on the
desktop, it makes no sense to open _additional_ tabs that are from *SOME*
previously closed window. Especially when I already have another window open.
The concept of "last time" is not even well defined in this situation.

It seems to be using the same setting for unrelated situations.

And indeed I checked that changes this setting does make the issue go away. But
again, it's not an acceptable workaround.
