KNotes must be running more than once for that to happen, do you run more than one session at a time ? Now I could add a Command Line Option to address this, something along the lines of `knotes --new` to create a new note on start-up. Not that i know of - this just happens on KDE startup. The only reason I can think of is if there is some other, independent way for knotes to register to autostart, which it does automatically, and then I'm invoking it again with my ~/.kde/Autostart/. Does that seem possible? If so, there ought to be a way to configure that behavior in knotes (and in KDE more generally). Saurabh On 27 Sep 2007 09:44:24 -0000, Guillermo A.

Please check in : KControl > KDE Components > Session Manager If so, the session remembers that you had KNotes running, so it runs KNotes for you, that might be happening before your Autologin link runs KNotes a second time creating the new blank Note. Aha... that would explain things. So is there any acceptable solution? I don't want to disable the Autostart, since I want knotes to start up every time, regardless of whether it's been killed before I restart my old session. I suppose I could write a script to see if knotes is running first, but this seems needlessly difficult. is there some behavior where knotes will suppress the note-creation if another session is running?

This way KNotes will only be executed by the Autostart link. Not a direct bug, will add command line option to suppress note creation on start-up. |
