1.5. KDE Sessions

KDE and its applications support sessions. This feature allows the system to save the state of all applications that are in use when the user logs out of the desktop environment, and to restore them when the user logs back in.

[Note] Note

Please bear in mind that for non-KDE applications, and even some KDE ones, the range of session recovery support is up to the application: from doing nothing, to opening the application again along with all the files that were open inside that application.

Open System Settings and click on Session Manager in the Advanced tab to control how KDE manages sessions. For example, to tell KDE to ignore session state choose On LoginStart with an empty session and click the Apply button. The settings are effective the next time you log into KDE.
