I think Patrick's right. There are programs that start automatically if have not been closed before logging out, eg Skype.
I thought these apps had to resister that they wanted to be restarted. They do this by communicating with the running session manager, not by placing files around the place. So, I guess Skype is doing this.
What happens if you remove this application from autostart, logs out without closing the program, and logis in? Does it start or not?
As many instances as were running when I logged out are started. When it is in the Autostart, I also get a new one each time. When it is not in the Autostart, I only get the existing ones. The problem is that if the program was not running on logout, I then get nothing. Which is not what I want. I will try the suggestion of saving/restarting a specific session.
One advantage of the Autostart method is that I can easily set that up in an installation script. Defining a session will, I fear, now require manual setup where it was once automatic. Progress?
Looks to me that *the* solution would be to save a session with the required apps still running. Then subsequent sessions would begin with *only* the required apps and nothing extra that was running on the last session close/exit. The would also mean that you would *not* use "AutoStart". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
