Description Bill McGonigle 2009-06-03 07:48:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I really like how KDE will restore the apps I had running when I last logged out.  However, sometimes it can happen that on network connection that's slow to establish (e.g. wireless) applications which expect the network to be there are launched before the network is fully brought up.  This can lead to further problems in each of those applications.  Ideally all applications would themselves be aware of network state and handle the problem gracefully, but it seems unlikely this option will be easily achieved.

KDE should know how to wait on the network being ready before restoring application state.  That's not always the appropriate thing to do, so any or all of: a preference, a timeout, or a dialog would be helpful to allow work to proceed when a network isn't available at all.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then. FWIW it's working for me except for one known openSUSE-specific bug: https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108163
