But since I already have the xrdb line in there, I terminated it with a && so this would be exec'd after that bit of sed magic you supplied. Since theres quite a bit of stuff being restored when tdm restarts, which takes a good 30+ seconds to do, I wish I could find where to get it to restart each of the numerous term's I use on its correct workspace screen. They always restore with the correct number of tabs, but they all pile up on the same screen & have to be moved to the screen I am used to using for that particular workflow. I think the only exception to that is probably trinity-kcalc, which always seems to be on the workspace #3 it was running on prior to the restart. So someplace, there is that info. Also, the tde version of kcalc does this, the kde version does not restart. Yeah, I know, beggars and horses... Thanks Nik.
