KWin has gained support for the initial version of the Wayland session restore protocol

I found it interesting that they were merging support for a not-yet-merged protocol so I looked it up.

It seems the plan is to use the new experimental protocol thing that was introduced a while back:

Oh yeah. Can't wait for this. Bad session management/restore is basically the only major thing I still miss a lot on Wayland. Hopefully Firefox and other apps will gain support for this soon (I guess all Qt/KDE apps will get support at once when they also add support to Qt and KDE Frameworks). Anyways I just opened the enhancement request for Firefox for this just hoping they will add support soon.
