[newbie] KDE Session management on logout
I liked in MDK 8.2 the ability to save my KDE Session as it was when i last booted into KDE. That option (a tickbox on the logout screen) asked if i want to save sessions. NOw i can't find it in 9.1! WTF? I've looked for it in different places no luck. ugh... why does KDE make such changes?...sigh... it was fine as it was IMO... now I can't get my session restored. :( -- Femme On MDK 9.1, more or less 24/7...cept for gaming.

To manually save the current session, you just click that, and then logout/shutdown. When you restart/login, your former session should be restored. I hope we are not on different wavelengths here. It is the ability to restore your current session that you want, right? I don't know if there is a way to get the save session box on logout like Mdk 9, if that is what you want.
