Ah yeah that's the problem with not using something like systemd to manage user sessions... We need to write wrapper scripts which check for running instances like we do with PipeWire and kill them before we start a new one...

Thanks for reporting I'll look into a fix.

As I understand, right now org.kde.xwaylandvideobridge.desktop has been removed from /etc/xdg/autostart and the issue is solved.
