However when I start up the machine the next morning and log in KDE starts not with the core three but with kpat and the other applications that I shut down immediate before the machine shut-down. So I'm concluding that KDE snapshots some state.
It's ksmserver AFAIK, and a setting is in systemsettings - startup and shutdown.
The problem is you're having a system mount, where that mount is not available all the time, and could hold open files. That's not a construction I would go for.
It does not hold open files. In one setup that is failing, the remote share was never available or accessed (except by some KDE component with a memory of what was accessed in a previous session). It is a remote folder just like any other. Surely a core design feature in any interactive system like a desktop would be that the whole desktop does not freeze because some component not in use is not available.
You could have a look at fusesmb, of smbfs
I will do so when I get access to the setup again. But I wonder how these fare when the remote system comes and goes - as remote systems are want to do. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
