Bug Description

Kf5 based applications do not reliably start up again on new sessions after logging out and in again. This was noted specifically on konversation as discussed in this bug here (Konversation session doesn't resume):
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=363876

but other applications are also affected with the master bug report here (missing some clients or windows when storeSession and performLegacySessionSave):
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354724

Unfortunately this is a version related problem that is fixed with newer versions and would require either a backport or upgrade on (k)ubuntu 16.04 as mentioned in the aforementioned bug report.

1. This is on (K)Ubuntu 16.04
2. konversation version 1.6-0ubuntu1
3. konversation should always restart on starting a new session
4. konversation does not reliably restart on on a new session

Also note that this is not confined to just konversation as quite a few other KDE applications also do not reliably resume - notably konsole, kate, kmail and ktorrent for example.
