Log off. Next time you log on gaim will not start, but be sure that the next time you log off the 'restore session' box is unchecked. People always get confused by the restore session thing. KDE in fact will 'always' restore a session. Checking the box simply tells KDE to restore 'this' session. If the box is not checked it will restore from a previous session when the box 'was' checked. derek On Tuesday 05 March 2002 16:44, you wrote: > Hi all, > I thought I might be able to give you some peace, but no such luck!
