Hi,
this is a bit of an annoyance, could make use more comfortable if implemented:

currently, if I clear history and restart (which always happens after upgrading to a new version):

- most of the windows/tabs open at the restart time are lost

what I would like to see is that all those would be restored (needs some kind of forced history entry for the pages open at the time)

Of course there is the workaround to reopen all pages manually so that the history entry is there, but this is tedious, clumsy and boring:)

(This may be a duplicate already, sorry for that)

This sounds like a Safari issue to me rather than a WebKit one, but I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. Can you please explain this again in a step by step form?
