There is probably a bug in the scripts that write and modify the /$(HOME)/.kde/share/config/kmserverrc file. This file seems to contain the session information if you have used the save session option on logout. The problem is that when you uncheck the save session marker it doesn't seem to delete the session information so when you log back on it all just comes back again. If you look at line 6 of the file below I suspect (although I haven't proved it) that it is thiss command that is wrongly formatted. The problem is compounded by the fact that there is a save session option in the kde control centre which if turned on may save the session anyway with one realising it (irrespective of whether you use the save session option at logout). The option is under system > session manager. I haven't tested it but if I were you I would turn off the save session option there too. To correct the problem delete the stuff in the file as shown in the before and after files below: Close your session and restart and that annoying quirk should be gone. BTW it took me months to get so cross with it before I decided to investigate with scant regard for breaking anything. Regards, Colin Close BEFORE!!

This first happened when I started it up as a stand alone machine, not connected to my work lan. This happened once before on another system when I was using Mandrake 7.1 and could never figure out why, so I did a reinstall. I would hate to do a reinstall again to get rid of this.
