      Yes!

      To set this:
kcontrol -> "KDE Components" -> "Session Manager": frame "On Login"
you can activate one of these three radio buttons:
- Restore revious session
x Restore Manually saved session
- Start with an empty session

      Just take care with "kate" because it saves the opened files and so 
change the active session. It's hard to explane: just try it. This could be 
related to an other thread on kate in this mailing list or in the devel 
mailing list. At the moment to save a "working" KDE session that I usely 
use during monthes, the kate's windows are opened with "Default session".

      Cheers
