Description Thomas 2004-08-19 02:33:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:                Linux

I would like the session manager to have the following options:

On Login
  Start automatically saved session
  Start manually saved session
  Start with empty session
  Ask
On Logout
  Save session
  Ask

I would also like "Save Session" to always appear on the K menu even if "Start manually saved session"
is not selected.

this will pause your statup, clearly not an acceptable default option. 

do you think a "choose session at startup" option (default off) in the kcontrol would be the way to go?

this should be easy to do now and the code in work/kdebase_appgroups also keeps track of the date saved for each session.

Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2009-05-30 20:48:01 UTC

as inspired by bug 123212, the dialog at startup could be optionally activated via holding down a modifier key. this wouldn't be exactly without precedent, even in kde: kdm's auto-login can be suppressed by pressing shift.

I don't understand this request.  What does the "Ask" option mean?  If it's superfluous, then this bug report is mostly a duplicate of others:

Bug 46923 covers the ability to optionally save the session on logout.

Bug 62157 covers the ability to load different saved sessions on login.

I think the only thing novel about this report is the request to suppress restoring the session on login, which is what Bug 123212 was about.

Comment 5 Tristan Miller 2013-07-04 18:36:33 UTC

Given the lack of response to the previous comment I think this bug can be closed as a duplicate of Bug 46923 and Bug 62157.
