Hello,
I have a dual-head setup and my problem is that gkrellm keeps restarting
on screen 0 while I saved the session when it was on screen 1 where I
want it.
Since this will probably not get fixed in near future, I was wondering
if there is any way to simply stop a certain program from restarting at
all after saving a session with the program running, I would start
gkrellm myself by a ~/.kde/Autostart/ script on the correct screen, but
when I do that gkrellm autostarts on both screens, once correctly from
my script, and once extra on incorrect screen by session restore.
I searched a bit and read somewhere that programs that KDE restores from
an old session are stored in ~/.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc and indeed
it's there, so I tried to remove all traces of gkrellm from there (and
if that worked I would have just done that in an init script at system
boot in future), but apparently I disrupted the format of the file or
something and besides gkrellm some other programs which I /want/ to
restart didn't.
Now I'm out of ideas.
There must be some simple way to stop a program from restarting, or to
get it restart on the correct screen, if anyone has an idea or a
different workaround, please tell me.

What about just not having it running when saving the session?
Quit gkrellm, save session, done, no?

I was using the default settings where session gets saved automatically
when you exit KDE, only now that you mentioned saving a session manually
I noticed you can actually do it. This should indeed work nicely.

Thanks for your quick help!

In the session manager page inside KControl is a section called "Advanced".
Here you can list out applications you do not want to have restarted.

Is this what you are looking for?

This was exactly what I've been looking for, thanks too. I already used Kevin
Krammer's suggestion, but this can't hurt in addition.

(So the mail got through after all, sorry for that, it took strangely long and
another message appeared before this one so I tried again with a different
client. I hope this one will take less than 24 hours.) -JK
