Description Markus Elfring 2022-03-09 11:40:17 UTC

SUMMARY
I would appreciate a working session management for my desktop.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. The application “Konqueror 21.12.3” was started (for example).
2. This program was terminated a bit later.
3. Some files were intentionally deleted by the command “rm ~/.config/session/konqueror*”.
4. A logout was performed while session storage should be active.
5. Another login was triggered for the previously selected user.

OBSERVED RESULT
The application “Konqueror” was started again despite of the detail that it should not belong to the programs which were configured for automatic starting.

EXPECTED RESULT
Some application windows may be restored for another work session but without the programs which were intentionally terminated before.

How will the chances evolve to fix software components for proper session management?

Konqueror autostarting on login has nothing to do with session management and everything to do with the konqy_preload file in /etc/xdg/autostart. Can you check to see if you have a file by that name (or a similar one, I can't quite remember) in there?

(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3)
The set of available session storage files evolved in the meantime.
But I would like to point out that on one of my running systems the application window is not presented for the program “konqueror” after another login despite of the existing file “/etc/xdg/autostart/konqy_preload.desktop”.
