Yes that's the conclusion I had drawn, whereas an explicit 'kill' by user chooses the Quit function and firefox remembers the open tabs and windows (not kill -9). I mentioned previously that I had recently switched back to starting X from level 3, instead of going via level 5 (i.e. now avoiding using graphical login and xdm/gdm or whatever). I *think* my previously reported problems of keyboard input focus not always following the mouse have disappeared as a result. I have only been using the new startup procedure for a few days (on both laptop and desktop machines), so I can't yet be sure. As everything seems to be working ok without the previously mentioned xorg-x11-xinit-session package, I have not tried using it. Aaron PS Another (not window manager related) problem: My laptop was upgraded from Fedora 22 to 24 yesterday. I then found ssh login without password from other local machines no longer worked. After about two hours of wasted effort I eventually discovered that the defaults had changed. In case anyone else has this problem I found the answer here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/ssh-refused-sshd-2444-userauth_pubkey-key-type-ssh-dss-not-in-pubkeyacceptedkeytypes-preauth For this specific error, you need to add "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss" (without the quotations) to the bottom of your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.
