I'm not a user of saved desktops.

But, I just confirmed that if I have the setting set for "Restore previous session" \
and if I have a window rule for firefox to be in a certain desktop it will start in \
that desktop upon logout/login.

I have also found, while testing in a VM, that if you don't have \
                "KillUserProcesses=yes" set in
/etc/systemd/logind.conf you can get into a situation where if you logout/login it \
can result in a black-screen.

Another quirk, even though I'm not running dolphin it gets started in the Desktop I \
was in when I logged out.

All of this may explain why I don't use that "feature".
