Tony, Well, that helped some. Just to make sure I did this right, I fired up the Control Center, went to the KDE Components section and seleced Session Manager. I changed it from start with an empty session to start with a manually saved session. Saved and exited that. Then I arranged the windows that I want to see at login and then clicked the Red Hat on the taskbar and selected save session. BTW, each konsole actually has 3 shell windows. The one on desktop 1 all start in my home directory. The one on desktop 2 has each shell start in a different directory. I then logged out and logged back in again. The two konsole windows came up fine. Thunderbird and Firefox never came up. I manually started them, saved the session again and logged out/back in. Same thing. I'll keep trying. Maybe it's the way I start TB and FF. I do not use the FF that came with FC3. I already had them before I upgraded. Installed in /usr/local with /usr/local/bin/firefox and /usr/local/bin/thunderbird as symlinks pointing to where the executable really is. /usr/local/bin is in my path. (I'm an old Sun UNIX sys admin and that's the habit I have.) Thanks for the help. Charlie
