This is also a pet peeve of mine. However I think KDE apps do remember
their desktop, it's the non-KDE ones that don't. This includes Firefox
and Chrome among others.
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".
