Session Restore quirks

When I first installed RH 8 everything with KDE worked fine. Lately things have been acting up. I like to save my session to restore on login. Evolution always opens on desktop 1 no matter what desktop it was on when I logged out. Mozilla refuses to open at all. Konqueor and Konsole stay where I had them. If I close all applications and log out everything that I closed starts again on login. Help!!!

I must assume you upgraded kde in the mean time?
At some point session management was changed ever so slightly :)
You can select between having the session saved every time you log out or not. If not, then you will have a new menu entry (just above the K) that will allow you to save the session manually.
Oh I am not using RH so they might have screwed up the whole thing anyway.

Switch to Gentoo :)

KDE Quirks

I have not upgraded anything. RH8 is my first distro and everything is pretty much the way it came. I have tried changing the setting that does not save the session on log out and it used to work but now everything still pops up even if I don't save. Why Gentoo?

well I personally would not like to start saying use this or that distro, but I think if you are a beginner you could not get anything better than Suse Linux 8.2. Suse Linux 8.2 is the first Distro to aim for home users by making everything so easy to use tht you would not want to go back to Windows (EVER). :lol:

Suse used to be my favourite distro (~6.0), but I switched to Gentoo because a) I like to keep my programs up to date b) dependancy issues with RPM's is a pain that reminds me too much of windows (wich I last used 2 years ago :))
I do agree it is a steep learning curve for newbies though.......
