AKA turn it off, nuke those files in the session directory, restart and 
reconfigure, turn it back on and restart again.

looking at those files, I can't see a thing that looks like a workspace # 
specifier.  And they all carry a time stamp from the last restart, and a 
long hashed from the *nix epoche time" extension to the name.  Is there 
documentation on this someplace the "unwashed" can read it?

And yet, kcalc alone is the only one that always re-opens on the same 
workspace it was on so I think its possible. I may play with it once I 
have an eye open simultaneously again.
