I finally sat down and had a look at how to implement this during the weekend.
I've got the basic session management working, i.e. konsole now honors the
--session option and restores the windows with position & size stored in the
session file. Not much, I know, but it is a starting point.

I'll contact Robert about the modalities how we can get this to the KDE
repository once it is ready.


One thing that has cost me a lot of time, pulled hairs and
head-against-the-wall-banging: there seems to be a major bug in the KDE 4.1
session manager. It doesn't write restart information to
$HOME/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc for all applications, i.e. when the session
gets restored at next startup some stuff will be missing. The session files are
generated correctly for all applications though.

I have not been able to pinpoint this to certain applications. Basically it
looks random what applications are written to ksmserverrc. Or there is some
problem with the session management handling, e.g. the session information is
stored but the applications already exit before ksmserverrc is generated.
