Hi all,
In past versions of Mdk , when logging out of kde you had the choice of saving the session or not. in 9.0 running kde 3.1 the choice is gone and it just automatically saves the session.
this is a problem in 9.0 for me because I use firestarter. because in 9.0 it saves the fact I WAS running firestarter ( and does this even if I turn it off before logging out ) and tries to start it up again when I log back in as a user. because firestarter requires root access I get four error messages that I can't stop , and still have to su in console and become root then start firestarter. ( I know in 9.1 firestarter works properly and what I do in 9.0 isn't needed ) but I want to stay in 9.0 until a few things catch up to 9.1. - then I will change and this email will be unnecessary. ;-)
What I want to do is turn off the auto save session feature under 9.0 running kde 3.1.
Yes I know I can update to 9.1 , ( the problem is resolved as far as I can tell in 9.1 ) but don't want to just yet, and yes I know and have read the manual, I have even tried to edit some files, but I'm not finding the right file to edit in Mdk 9.0 / kde 3.1 .
does anyone know how to do this? or if it's possible?
In KDE Control Centre>Personalisatiob>Session Manager you can select 'manually saved session'
It will then load the session details found in /usr/share/autostart
The files in here are in the format 'application_name.desktop' If you have a menu item for your firestarter you can just drag and drop from your menu into the autostart folder. Alternatively right click on your desktop, select CreateNew>LinktoApplication fillin all the details in the pop up, and than drag/drop that link into the autostart folder.
You can also drop desktop links into the folder ~/.kde/Autostart if you want an application to only open for a specific user.
