Hi folks!
Besides this https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1170885.html tray icon problem I face another annoying issue with Konsole.
It came out that Konsole is not saving/restoring tabs on restart. I got used to a predefined set and specific colored tabs to handle my 8-12 simultaneous to different production and data centers, but after switching to Wayland Konsole now starts with just one window.

I found an old stack exchange thread here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/593778/kde-konsole-how-to-save-and-restore-current-session/593779

But I wonder if there is any other better way to solve that?

That limitation was covered by a news item link:

That fix is in Gentoo's kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-6.1.5-r1 revbump.

Thank you. Will keep an eye in this marked stable.

I installed kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-6.1.5-r1 and still no progress. Konsole restarts with one tab, even before shutdown had several ones in different directories. Any clues how to restore konsole tabs in wayland?

If applications themselves do not have the ability to restore sessions, which konsole appears to lack indeed, there is nothing Plasma can currently do in a wayland session. It is simply a limitation right now.

Even though we don’t have real session restore on Wayland yet (it’s still waiting for the protocol to be finalized), now we have the next best thing: fake session restore that simply re-opens apps you had open at the last logout and relies on them to have internally saved their own state appropriately.

But konsole has restored tabs in X11 session...

Yes, because that is an X11 feature, konsole has nothing to do with it.

Recently I saw another miracle: I started session using X11, opened several tabs in Konsole and then started Wayland. And guess what? All my tabs including theirs colors were restored in Wayland session! But after I started Wayland session again - Konsole appeared with an empty window. All this is buggy as hell.

No, it is not buggy. It is just as I explained. X11 can save your session, Wayland has no protocol for that yet. The Plasma session management paths are shared partially between X11 and Wayland, so it appears Plasma Wayland can restore your X11 session, but not save one (at least not beyond it's "fake" session support), because that is fundamentally an X11 function.

Do they have any plans for adding this protocol to wayland? It is just a normal feature for a typical user.
By the way I have found a temporary solution:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/593778/kde-konsole-how-to-save-and-restore-current-session/593779?answertab=modifieddesc#tab-top
a script konsole_snapshot.py which can save tabs with directories and load them with new konsole window. You can create many konsole instances with saved tabs.
Very funny and useful solution.
