Many of our users are complaining about:
something in the EL8/X2Go/KDE? interface now just runs roughshod over the windows you have open, between suspending and resuming sessions. Windows are re-sided, moved, opened, closed...at random. I often have multiple windows open and, for example, running IDL or editing or something, and I have them placed where I want as I am testing and debugging or writing code, I suspend / restore the session and come back to just randomly placed, sized, opened or closed desktop. **i don't like people mucking with my desktop** whether real or virtual!!! The three of us mentioned to each other that we feel like we are continually re-sizing, finding, and just spending time counteracting what has been done to our setups.
So, what's going on what what can be done to stop it? Clients and server are EL8. Desktop environment is KDE. We have a mix of x2goagent and x2gokdrive sessions.
We've removed kscreen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

So, it appears that on initial connection, even on resume, the display is set to 800x600 and then resized to what is in the session preferences. With the change to 800x600, KDE tries to re-arrange the windows to fit better it seems.
Why is this done instead of either setting the size to the session preferences or preferably the size of the existing session?
