Abject apologies. It is indeed on the logout screen. I believe it used
to be somewhere else (at least in KDE 3.5) which is why I hadn't seen
it.
You could be right, but its so long since I used 3.5 I cannot remember either
:)
However I wonder about the logic of putting it there. Surely the
point
of the button is to save the session once you've set it up to your
liking. If you only wanted to save it just before logging out, you would
use the "restore previous session" option.
Fair point..
I see in Kickoff if you move along to the "leave tab" save session is there
but its not an option in the Classic Kmenu as far as I can see.
