ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The help page, available from the Help button has the following:
Finally, you can enter a colon (:) or comma (,) separated list of
applications that should be excluded from sessions, and therefore
will not be started when restoring a session. For example
xterm:konsole or xterm,konsole.
However, it doesn't explain what exactly to type to include an application in
the list. Is it the window title? The name of the application in the Kickoff
menu? Is it the name of the binary? If the user isn't savvy enough to guess
what's needed from the example, then the user unfortunately has no way of
knowing what exactly has to be typed in the text field. Please don't hesitate
to include _more_ information in the tooltip.
