It's not clear to me where to find Save Session. I have looked in Kmenu's selection list and in its editor list, but see no such entry.
Sorry Leslie,
You must have set control panel -> KDE Components -> Session Manager -> On Login -> Restore manually saved session
Then you will see the manual save option below :)
Okay, I made the changes as shown in the attachment, then clicked on Save Session in the Kmenu list (which provided no feedback), then logged out and in again; but the non-KDE application still wasn't restored.

OK, Time for more digging. All session restoration is controlled by session files contained in your ~/.kde/share/config/session directory. The configuration file responsible for making it work is ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc. If you look, you will see the applications started as part of your session in the directory and also listed in the rc file. I will have to search for documentation (both in my kde install in /opt/kde3/share/doc and online. It is frustrating that kde.org tried to kill kde3 by removing most of the historical content and sources from the kde.org website. It is hit or miss as to what remains. It is somewhat ironic that kde5 (plasma/fw5) was broken in that regard.. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446865 Believe it or not, there is still good information in: https://userbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Startup (that part didn't change much (if at all) between kde3/4) Do a bit of searching and I'll do the same. If I come up with something I'll drop a reply. -- David C.
