Okay, so that one doesn't work here. Or maybe it can't be used that way any more. Sorry to put you to the trouble. You might also try directly (with rm or vi) clearing the session caches, if you can figure out where they are. Hmm. You might look at ~/.cache/sessions/xf* . Just be sure you log out of your X11 session before you modify those. (virtual console, or logged in as a different user that can sudo -u, etc.) The problem is, I am sure, in the interplay of the "keep your session" option on the logout dialog with applications that don't know how to save their sessions, or use an older API to do it. It's probably worth a bug report to the Abiword (was it?) project, if you have the time. Or at least a question to their user list. And/or the XFCE list, although I think I'd start at he Abiword lists. -- Joel Rees Be careful when you look at conspiracy.
