Salix Forums

When you log out there is a little box in Xfce that asks you whether you want to save your session. I never gave it much thought in prior versions of Xfce, but recently I have been noticing that bad session data seems to have been saved in the .cache folder for Xfce. I deleted the saved sessions and unchecked the box in the logout screen. This seems to have solved my problem, but what advantages might there be for saving sessions? Can anybody shed any light on this?

It's just if you want to have some apps running as soon as you log on.

I never use that feature. I've seen it cause more trouble than do good.

I've come to the same conclusion.

That's maybe right for XFCE, especially if you've accidentally closed your panel or something. But on the other hand I don't want to start 10 apps on different desktops

OK I guess I am satisfied. I will leave it unchecked. It is not that useful to me and it causes trouble.

BTW, I really like the Salix forum. Good answers in a timely and courteous manner. I like the Salix philosophy as well. I hope to be here for a while.

You always have to be different than anyone else don't you?
