That should be possible. I'll try to remember looking into that (hint:
reporting a wish might help: https://rkward.kde.org/bugs).

I'm a bit unsure, what would be the expected default behavior, though,
and whether we need anything special to support it for the activities
usecase. The general expectation would be that RKWard restores the
running session as close as possible, right? So what we'd need to do is
not simply quit without saving, but save to some standard location,
without asking, and restore that on the next run?
