Hi, I am not sure whether this is the right mailing list for this issue. I looked through the list of mailing lists on opensuse.org and felt like this one might fit. I am using vim/gvim for several years in connection with suse linux running kde. One issue that always annoyed me was that when I have gvim open with some files loaded and I log out from kde and log in again, gvim will come up with an empty session. Now I know there is a way to do this by hand, saving the current session in gvim with :mksession <sessionname> and then later restore that session with :source <sessionname>. However, I know from a friend who uses mandrake, that there the session restores automatically under kde. On and off I was searching the web for this issue and ran now across some documentation that talked about that: http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/gui_x11.html#GNOME There it says that if gvim is compiled as gnome gui, it works together with the gnome session manager and also should work together with the kde session manager. I looked for information on my 10.1 gvim installation and it says: :version VIM - Vi IMproved 6.4 (2005 Oct 15, compiled May 2 2006 09:59:09) Included patches: 1-6 Compiled by abuild@blacher Big version with GTK2 GUI. [...] So it looks like that gvim is compiled for GTK2 and according to the documentation then does not support the kde session manager? I am no expert here and maybe there are other ways to get it going. I was just wondering whether anyone know whether that would be a solution to add session support to gvim and whether that could be an option to compile gvim that way in future releases?
