It happened again. I found https://userbase.kde.org/System_Settings/Startup_and_Shutdown#Session_Management It states: To manually save a session, you must first select the "Restore manually saved session" option and "Apply". Then, when you use the "KDE Menu" -> "Leave" you will find that you have a new option - "Save Session". In DE there is a "Restore manually saved session" option in "TDE Components" -> "Session Manager", which I selected. When I ended the session there was no "Save Session" option from the Lock/Logout Panel Applet but it's there in the start menu! I'll give that a try... Regards, Philip Ashmore
