Send a patch?

But seriously, it looks like an unfixed upstream bug. And it doesn't 
even look like a showstopper bug to me, although it isn't nice for 
people using the feature of restoring a manually saved session. 
Therefore I wouldn't expect a fix in 15.04.

OTOH, as a workaround you could start with an empty session and run your 
beloved applications from the ~/.kde/Autostart/ folder with a script 
like this:

#!/bin/bash
kstart --desktop 1 konsole
sleep 10
kstart --desktop 8 firefox

>From past experience I remember that placing applications on different 
desktops didn't work well without a delay between the kstart commands, 
that's why I used the extra sleep command. Perhaps the sleep command may 
not be necessary or the 10 seconds delay could be reduced on your 
machine.
