<para>In this control module you can configure &kde;'s session
|
|
manager.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>

<para>If this option is checked, when logging out, &kde; will display a
|
|
dialog asking for confirmation. In this dialog you can also choose
|
|
whether you want to restore your current session when you login the next

time.</para>

<term><guilabel>Offer shutdown options</guilabel></term>

<listitem>
|
|
<para>If this option is checked, &kde; will offer a choice of actions during
|
|
logout. These include simply ending the current session (the
|
|
action performed if shutdown options are not enabled) turning off the
|
|
computer, or restarting the computer.</para>

you log into &kde;:</para>

<varlistentry>
|
|
<term><guilabel>Restore previous session</guilabel></term>
|
|
<listitem><para>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.</para>

<term><guilabel>Restore manually saved session</guilabel></term>

<listitem><para>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. <!-- FIXME: How do you *save* the session in the

first place? --></para></listitem>

|
<para>You can configure what should happen by default when you log out of
|
|
&kde;. These options are not possible on all operating systems, and some of
|
|
them may not appear unless you are using &tdm; as your login manager.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The options available are self explanatory, if you are in doubt,
|
|
leave the default settings. They are:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><guilabel>End current session</guilabel> (this is the default)</para></listitem>
|

<listitem><para><guilabel>Turn off computer</guilabel></para></listitem>
|
|
<listitem><para><guilabel>Restart computer</guilabel></para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, you can enter a colon (<literal>:</literal>)
|
|
separated list of applications that should not be saved in sessions,
|
|
and therefore won't be started when restoring a session. For example
|
|
<userinput>xterm:konsole</userinput>.</para>
