Conversion to British English 2003-10-13 3.2 KDE KControl session In this control module you can configure &kde;'s session manager. Session management refers to &kde;'s ability to save the state of applications and windows when you log out of &kde; and restore them when you log back in. The General section contains one setting: Confirm logout If this option is checked, when logging out, &kde; will display a dialogue asking for confirmation. In this dialogue you can also choose whether you want to restore your current session when you login the next time. You may choose one of three options on what should happen when you log into &kde;: Restore previous session If this option is checked, &kde; will save your current session's state when you logout. &kde; will restore your session on the next login, so you can continue to work with a desktop just like you left it. Restore manually saved session Instead of restoring &kde; to the state it was when you logged out last, it will be restored to a specific state that you have saved manually. Start with an empty session If you choose this option, &kde; will never restore sessions that it has saved. You can configure what should happen by default when you log out of &kde;. These options are not possible on all operating systems, and they require the use of &tdm; as your login manager. The options available are self explanatory, if you are in doubt, leave the default settings. They are: Login as different user (this is the default) Turn off computer Restart computer Finally, you can enter a colon (:) separated list of applications that should not be saved in sessions, and therefore will not be started when restoring a session. For example xterm:konsole.
