Hi,

since some weeks KDE's session manager always starts kwrite with a specific document at startup. I had that document open sometime when I closed kde, but now it's never open when I shutdown the computer, i.e. the session manager seems to have kwrite and that document somehow glued into its settings. The strange thing is, that at the same time when it opens the document, it shows this error message: "Error launching /usr/kde/4.2/share/applications/kde4/kwrite.desktop. Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application."
kwrite.desktop is existent.

Any ideas how to tell the session manager that I do not need that document at startup?

All other applications are remembered correctly, even other instances of kwrite.

Thanks, Rasputin

You can always check (~/.config/autostart), the only thing I can think of.

~/.config/autostart is empty, and I am quite sure that the problem is related to the session manager. The title of the above mentioned message box is something like "KDE Session Manager".

try disable session saving, reboot, look - if kwrite started - this is not session realated things , you need check you startup folder/scripts like /home/RaraRasputin/.kde/Autostart, after this you may enable session saving back.

Thank you, checking the Autostart folder solved the problem. It contained a symlink to a script, which for some reason was not executed but opened in kwrite. As I did not really need that scripts I removed it, and that solved my problem.
