KDE Splash Won't go Away

KDE Splash Won't go Away

Post by carney197 » Sun, 12 Jan 2003 09:42:31



I'm running KDE 3.0.5a (Red Hat 8.0).

Suddenly, when I boot KDE, the splash screen won't go away. I can click on
it and it will then go away and all seems normal. But it won't go away on
it's own after booting KDE.

How do I fix it?

I've seen this behavior at times with versions of KDE before 3.0.5a.  Every
time I saw it, it appeared to be due to my KDE session being restored,
except that a previously running program that was part of my saved session
wasn't installed anymore on that particular machine, ie, I have a program
MyApp running, I save my KDE session, logout, then uninstall MyApp, log back
in...

As I said, I haven't seen this behavior since 3.0.4 I think (I'm using
rh73).

Where is the session saved? If I delete it will this "fix" the problem?

On rh, kde stuff is saved in ~/.kde/share/config/session.  Removed the
ghost'd application from my stored session "fixed" it for me.

Thanks, Rex. There were three files in there. Not sure which one was "doing
it". I moved all three to the trash folder (so I could restore them from a
console if necessary).

Logged out of KDE (saving my session), logged back in, and all is well
again.

1. KDE icons that won't go away.

Hi All,

When KDE starts up it puts 6 or 7 icons on my desktop. If I delete
them,  the next time I login they will get put back. Where is this
being controled from so I can stop this once and for all?

Thanks

Joe
