KDE's recent versions include that "Recent Applications" by default (or did I just turn that thing on in some configuration module?). It's located on KDE's 'start' menu, just above the program folders, only it's not a folder, you get 5 apps listed (this number can be changed). At least so it is in Mandrake Linux versions 9.0 and 9.1. I think it also has the "Recent Documents" feature, maybe not as a default, just try configuring the menu. Anyway, I do recall it did not save all of the opened documents. I think it had to do with the fact of how (with which app (terminals, file managers or other apps)) you opened a concerning document. I guess that's why Scott R. Godin said it is "impossible for the wm to accomplish", at least completelly. In my case, that did the trick of me just ignoring that feature... ===== Jean-Dominique Ackle Braga, Portugal Mandrake Linux 9.1 _______________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
