    Sorry, session management may be confusing if you have not seen it before.

    Basically, KDE will take a "snapshot" of all the programs currently running,
    and restore those programs (as best it can) next time it is started.
    By default,
    it does this automatically, saving the open programs snapshot at
    log-out. I find
    this annoying. I like to set the programs I want open, and have those
    open at start-up, not the ones I may have been using last time I
    logged-out. That is why I choose the option to "restore manually
    saved session". Thay way I set things up like I want them, and then
    just save it.

    So, for example, if you want GAIM and XMMS to open automatically, just
    run those programs, and then select "save session" in the k-menu
    (which will only be available if you have configured 'restore manually
    saved session'). Next time KDE starts, they will open on desktop 1.

    Note that not all programs seem to work well with session management,
    and you have the best luck with KDE apps. For maximum control, I
    would use the Autostart folder. (open konqueror, and put
    "~/.kde/Autostart/" in the location bar. Then drag and drop from the
    k-menu, telling it to make a copy, or make a new "link to application"
    by right-clicking. ["create new" > "file" > "Link to
    Application..."]).

    hope this helps....
