KDE restarts previously running apps? [SOLVED]
« on: December 29, 2012, 12:35:45 PM »
Hi,
I recently (last week or two?) noticed a new phenomenon:
If I log off when apps are running (e.g. I had firefox, dolphin, konsole and xsane on various desktops),
they automatically reappear at my next log on.

a) what is the name of this functionality?
b) was it announced somewhere, and described?
c) is it configurable (can it be disabled/enabled)?

or... d) is this a bug, not a feature, and only affecting me???

Thanks,
Shimon

Go to Configure Your Desktop -> Startup & Shutdown -> Session Management
Check if "Restore previous session" is selected.

Sorry but my current locale is Greek so I can't remember the exact terms :)

Could be you have restore previous session checked marked. Go to Configure my Computer>Startup and Shutdown>Sessions Management> On Login.
Be very, very kind to your neighbors, but don't take the fence down!

Actually, that's System Administration>Startup and Shutdown>Sessions Management> On Login

Thank you agmg and Linuzoid. :)

Until recently I never noticed this happening. Is it a new function, or just that
I never left things running until recently?

Must be the latter, because I've depended on that option for years.  ;D

I think it's under "Configure Your Desktop" for KDE...

Configure Your Desktop --> System Administration --> Startup and Shutdown --> Sessions Management --> Restore previous session.
