Re: Kwrite is taking over my desktop
This sounds like you have something in your startup directory which used to look like an application link (.desktop or .kdelink or something) but now is associted with KWrite. Did you happen to change the associations for KWrite recently (or relatively recently to when this started)? - Original Message - From: Aaron Grewell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 12:55 PM Subject: Re: Kwrite is taking over my desktop bof wrote: When I load KDE, I am finding that no less than four copies of Kwrite are also starting.

Did you happen to change the associations for KWrite recently (or relatively recently to when this started). I did not AFAIK change any associations for KWrite, and I never found what was causing it to start up to four times when KDE loaded. The problem was occuring on both RH 7.3 and RH 9.0. What I finally did that solved the problem was to delete the directory .kde under my home directory. This worked although I did have to go back and reconfigure some of my desktop. So while I am at a loss to say what was going on, I did resolve the issue.

I have set Control Center Session Manager to confirm and save sessions on logout. I have then closed all the instances of Kwrite that were running, saved the session and quit KDE. When I restart it, kdeinit reloads the same four copies of Kwrite. At this stage I am not sure what else to do, because I do not know what or where Kwrite is saving itself. I've looked in both the global and my local .kde/share/config directory for the kwrite files and see nothing in them that would autostart it. What need I do to stop this -- it is very annoying. I haven't used KDE in quite a while now but: You might try moving or renaming your ~/.kde directory and then, after re-login copying over your previous config files from your moved/renamed ~/.kde to the newly created directory. Copy one file at a time if you want to see which file is the offender.

Bruce Marshall wrote: There also should be an 'Autostart' icon on your desktop. Click on it to see what's in there. No such icon. The Autostart directory under .kde is empty other than a file named .directory. Under .kde/share/config/session there is a file kwin_117f010001021526542024928 that contains the following. I thought that this was where KDE stored its settings to restore a session under a new login, but I don't see anything here that looks like it would start Kwrite.
