A session is not only a number of settings, it's also one or more
editfiles etc. To make a session forget all that makes it a session, use

        :qa

followed by

        vim

or

        gvim

(the latter may be entered in an Alt-F2 popup). Once you are satisfied
that you have what you want, use the ":mksession" command (q.v.). Or, if
you have a GNOME build of gvim, you can log out of the (kde or GNOME)
window manager and let gvim save its session transparently.

See
        :help :mksession
        :help :mkview
        :help -o
        :help -S
        :help gnome-session

If the above (starting a new session afresh) is too drastic for you, you
may _first_ use :mksession, then edit the session file (e.g. by removing
the settings you don't want anymore) and finally :qa and gvim -S

Best regards,
Tony.

Hi Tony,
Thank for your suggestions. These were the sort of solutions I had in
mind, I was just hoping there might be something simpler. It just
means, for each session I have to reopen every window the way it was,
and then save the session again, which is what I was trying to avoid.
But if there is no other way.

Thanks
Marius
