Uh-uh.... It has an option to _exclude_ an application from session management, but there is no way to tell it I want to _start_ a specific application. I could just add it to the auto-start menu, but I don't _always_ want it to start. > > On a somewhat-related topic, how is it possible to create a "manually > > saved session", that can be loaded when you set the session manager > > options to start with the manually saved session? > > Once "On Login" is set to "Restore manually saved session" in the > aforementioned Control Center view, a "Save Session" option will appear > in the K menu. Ah. That isn't remotely explained in the associated help. There's an implication that the Save Session option should always be there. It doesn't seem helpful - you don't appear to be able to tell it _which_ saved session to restore. Isn't this behavior exactly what you would get with: On Login Restore Session: yes/no On Logout Save Session: yes/no except that you would have to logout to effect the "Save Session"? -- derek
