Description Tristan Miller 2006-03-07 06:16:28 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

My default session contains a lot of applications (Kontact, Mozilla, XEmacs, Kopete, etc.) which makes booting into KDE take a long time.  This is ordinarily not a problem as it's seldom I need to reboot my machine.

However, when I need to troubleshoot something on my system and am rebooting into KDE often, it would really help if there were some way of supressing session restoration (and running of the ~/.kde/Autostart files) on an ad-hoc basis.  For example, can it be made so that holding down some key or key combination (left-shift, perhaps?) while KDE is starting up prevents the session from being restored?

Would fixing:

solve this too?

Comment 2 Tristan Miller 2008-11-24 23:51:51 UTC

Confirming feature is still missing from KDE 4.1.3.

Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2009-05-30 20:43:54 UTC

this is kind of a subtask
