Risking a little OT, "which"? RAM? => https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Swap The only actual problem can, as mentioned, be at some point a slowdown due to CPU overload by misbehaving processes (and while I don't think kdm or sddm or even logind support this, this could in theory be covered by stopping processes for all users that do not hold the current session) > But even with a single user on a laptop, I have to deal with the pain or > restarting sessions regularly because the laptop doesn't stay plugged in all > the time and doesn't have an infinite battery. Hibernate? In case it's not clear, this is from my position *not* a discussion on whether session management should better work again at some point (it certainly should, for there *are* reasons to log out, eg. to reboot the kernel or shutdown to have the system fully encrypted/stashed) It's just that multiuser environments (or battery limitations - unless you wait too long ;-) don't somhow enforce session restarts at all, so please don't try to make that your argument for working session support. It's factually wrong. > The fact that KDE4 would detect when firefox was running at shutdown (even > when I start it manually from a shell window) is a bug as far as I'm > concerned. It's actually a setting ("kcmshell5 smserver", also on SC4 for "kcmshell4", but I'm not 100% sure whether the module was named smserver than as well) and really completely unrelated. > Go ahead and restart apps that I started through the KDE menu, > but don't try to detect apps that I start from the command line That's unfortunately indistiguishable. > start them automatically (especially when you do so without the command-line > parameters I provided) That's actually a client bug, for it tells the smserver about the command it wants for a restart. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446865 Title: kwin does not remember on which desktop to open windows on session start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kdebase-workspace/+bug/1446865/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
