You shouldn't need this at all, KDE has pretty good session management.
Simply start the programs/consoles as the user(s), then log out.
KDE should restart the same programs next time you log back on as that user.
Tony,
Well, that helped some. Just to make sure I did this right, I fired up
the Control Center, went to the KDE Components section and seleced
Session Manager. I changed it from start with an empty session to start
with a manually saved session. Saved and exited that. Then I arranged
the windows that I want to see at login and then clicked the Red Hat on
the taskbar and selected save session.
BTW, each konsole actually has 3 shell windows. The one on desktop 1
all start in my home directory. The one on desktop 2 has each shell
start in a different directory.
I then logged out and logged back in again. The two konsole windows
came up fine. Thunderbird and Firefox never came up. I manually
started them, saved the session again and logged out/back in. Same thing.
I'll keep trying. Maybe it's the way I start TB and FF. I do not use
the FF that came with FC3. I already had them before I upgraded.
Installed in /usr/local with /usr/local/bin/firefox and
/usr/local/bin/thunderbird as symlinks pointing to where the executable
really is. /usr/local/bin is in my path. (I'm an old Sun UNIX sys
admin and that's the habit I have.)
Thanks for the help.
