Session Manager Problem KDE4.1

Everything works fine except that I get four Kate windows every time I reboot. Works ok when I start with an empty session then goes right back to 4 Kate windows when I select Restore previous session. Removed .kde and .kde4 in home directory with the same results? How do I get the session manager to work normally?

Additionally when I configure Konsole the settings go back to the original settings when I reboot. They do not stay as I had set them. Help please.

Thanks.

I noticed that even when I closed all those open Kate and other sessions there were “session” instances of them still running.

I don’t know why thats the case.

It seems you can start any KDE app within a session process.

For example :

   kate -session 12345aabbcc  

will start kate that even when you kill it seems to persist .

I killed those processes ( the ones with a -session argument or the ones I didn’t want coming up again ) , logged out and in again and voila … no more kates or multiple konsoles !!
