This may be a bug in kodo. It probably doesn't use
KWM::getProperties/KWM::setProperties to help the WM doing session management.

In KDE-2.0 this will change. The wm will then remember all the properties
itself. The app just will have to restore the widget name (
QWidget::setName(...), which triggers the WM_ROLE property )
