--- Comment #10 from Robin Bankhead <kde.bugs at headbank.co.uk> ---
I have been looking for the same thing coming from the VNC camp, but I think
this applies equally here as KRFB and KRDP have the same scoping limitation
when it comes to supporting this feature (they are to be launched from inside
an already-running session).

What KRFB does have, though I have not examined it, is the
`krfb-virtualmonitor` utility which adds an output to an existing session using
KWin's virtual backend. I will make an assumption that KRDP could utilise this
backend as well (if anyone knows this is incorrect, please speak up.)

For either app to be able to do what we seek -- launch a session with a virtual
display as its primary (sole) output -- work is needed on the
`startplasma_wayland` (or presumably now this will simply be `startplasma`)
script. I have a report for this here:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492285

There may be a chicken-and-egg flaw in this line of thought as my comprehension
of the technologies involved is limited. If so, any clarifications are welcome.
