Sorry, I must have missed the reply in September...

It could very well be the konsole bug you referred to, the other problems with
firefox and thunderbird might have been resolved, at least on ubuntu 16.10...

I guess this bug can remain closed, I may re-open or re-file when I have time
for some more testing...

Cheers

Simon

Works fine here, so it's likely not a general bug in ksmserver.

Firefox and Thunderbird are GTK applications though.

Support for the legacy session management protocol (which has been
superseeded/deprecated in 1993!) had been removed from ksmserver in 5.6, but as
it turned out, GTK only supports this so this broke restoring GTK applications
completely (it's the same in GNOME btw).
See bug#362671 .

Judging from the date when you filed this report, you did use 5.6.x., so this
would explain it for Firefox and Thunderbird.
Should be fixed since Plasma/ksmserver 5.7, as support for the legacy protocol
has been restored.

Konsole on the other hand is a KF5 application, and should be restored fine,
since KDE Frameworks 5.20.0 and Qt 5.6.0 at least (which you likely had I
suppose as you are using Neon).
There was/is a bug in Konsole though that causes it to crash on startup/session
restore if the stored current directory doesn't exist.
See bug#365413.

Could this be the problem?
