[Bug] comsic-session crashes when switching inputs using a KVM

[robrotheram]

I use a hardware KVM switch to swap between a windows laptop and a desktop running the latest POP-OS iso, when I switch inputs the cosmic session is lost.

Reproduce

1. I am logged into a pop-os session and have a few windows open Firefox, terminal.
2. I change inputs on my kvm onto the laptop.
3. I then change back to the pop-os desktop and I am still logged in but all my open programs have been lost.

This does not happen if I turn on and off my monitor even though the KVM switch. So I suspect it be due to the strange signal the switch sends when its swapping inputs.

This looks very similar to #779

[WilliamsTravis]

I've had this exact problem, #779 was related but different. I just updated cosmic and now it works for me. @robrotheram does it work for you now?
