A session is not only a number of settings, it's also one or more editfiles etc. To make a session forget all that makes it a session, use :qa followed by vim or gvim (the latter may be entered in an Alt-F2 popup). Once you are satisfied that you have what you want, use the ":mksession" command (q.v.). Or, if you have a GNOME build of gvim, you can log out of the (kde or GNOME) window manager and let gvim save its session transparently. See :help :mksession :help :mkview :help -o :help -S :help gnome-session If the above (starting a new session afresh) is too drastic for you, you may _first_ use :mksession, then edit the session file (e.g. by removing the settings you don't want anymore) and finally :qa and gvim -S Best regards, Tony.
Hi Tony, Thank for your suggestions. These were the sort of solutions I had in mind, I was just hoping there might be something simpler. It just means, for each session I have to reopen every window the way it was, and then save the session again, which is what I was trying to avoid. But if there is no other way. Thanks Marius
