KDE Sessions

KDE and its applications support sessions. This feature allows the system to restore all applications that were in use when the user logs out of the desktop environment.

[Note]Note

Please bear in mind that non-KDE applications, and even some KDE ones, may have limited session support. The degree of session recovery is up to the application, ranging from just opening the application again, to opening it along with all the files that were open inside that application.

By default, KDE automatically saves sessions whenever you log out of the desktop environment. To change the default behavior, open the Session Manager (System+Configuration+KDE+Components->Session Manager from the main menu.), make your choices and click on the OK button once you are satisfied with your settings. They will be effective the next time you log into KDE.
