<para
>In this control module you can configure &kde;'s session manager.</para>
<para
>Session management refers to &kde;'s ability to save the state of applications and windows when you log out of &kde; and restore them when you log back in.</para>
<para
>The <guilabel
>General</guilabel
> section contains one setting:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term
><guilabel
>Confirm logout</guilabel
></term>
<listitem>
<para
>If this option is checked, when logging out, &kde; will display a dialogue asking for confirmation. In this dialogue you can also choose whether you want to restore your current session when you login the next time.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para
>You may choose one of three options on what should happen when you log into &kde;:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term
><guilabel
>Restore previous session</guilabel
></term>
<listitem
><para
>If this option is checked, &kde; will save your current session's state when you logout. &kde; will restore your session on the next login, so you can continue to work with a desktop just like you left it.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term
><guilabel
>Restore manually saved session</guilabel
></term>
<listitem
><para
>Instead of restoring &kde; to the state it was when you logged out last, it will be restored to a specific state that you have saved manually. </para
></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term
><guilabel
>Start with an empty session</guilabel
></term>
<listitem>
<para
>If you choose this option, &kde; will never restore sessions that it has saved.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para
>You can configure what should happen by default when you log out of &kde;. These options are not possible on all operating systems, and they require the use of &kdm; as your login manager. </para>
<para
>The options available are self explanatory, if you are in doubt, leave the default settings. They are:</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Login as different user</guilabel
> (this is the default)</para
></listitem>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Turn off computer</guilabel
></para
></listitem>
<listitem
><para
><guilabel
>Restart computer</guilabel
></para
></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para
>Finally, you can enter a colon (<literal
>:</literal
>) separated list of applications that should not be saved in sessions, and therefore will not be started when restoring a session. For example <userinput
>xterm:konsole</userinput
>.</para>
