           Summary: system tray applications with opened window started
                    twice
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.4
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: alberth289346 at gmail.com


Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

If you leave a window of an application in the system tray open while logging
out (and shutting down the computer), that application will be started twice on
the next log in.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run pidgin in the system tray, and leave the 'buddies' window of the program
open when logging off (leave -> turn off).
(You may also want to set 'offline status on startup' to prevent problems with
the remote servers due to multiple logins at the same time.)

I have also tried it with the workrave window that displays how much time there
is left, and it behaves the same.

Actual Results:  
On the next log in, two instances of the program that had an open window at log
out, are started.

Expected Results:  
Instead, starting just one instance of the program would be useful :)


I think that the following happens:

The applications of the system tray all get started.

In addition, the session manager tries to restore the windows by starting new
applications, except that it does not realize that it should use applications
of the system tray instead.
