--- Comment #11 from Chris <inkbottle...@gmail.com> ---
This is how I see it:

If you haven't changed your settings, and you do a log-out action, with a
multi-tabs Okular, the log-out operation is really frozen, blocked, by an
Okular popup warning you that you have several tabs opened and do you want to
close them or not.

When it's plain log-out that you are doing, selecting "cancel" in the pop-up,
really reverses (cancel) the log-out action itself. If you do not select
anything, the log-out action will remain blocked indefinitely. Only if you
select "OK", will your log-out action be completed. Which by the way could be
considered a security issue, because when you log-out you don't want your
session to remain opened for someone coming after you, but it's not the line
I'm following here.

Now if your log-out action is subsequent to a shutdown or reboot action, the
shutdown will be executed in the end, without the user doing anything in the
concern of the Okular pop-up.

It is dubious that answering a popup during shutdown is relevant.

When Okular is satisfied its popup has been duly answered to, the session is
correctly saved. And later restored.

In the alternative, it saves only the leftmost tab. In any case the result is
your session is almost completely lost.

So that would be related to: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403848

And I forgot to mention that if you always log-out through shutdown or reboot,
the popup only appears as a glitch, a sort of bug, and you never have the idea
to really think about it.

And that behavior of warning the user of multiple tabs closing at logout time,
it is useless. Especially if the session is correctly saved: the tabs are not
even closed from the user point of view.
