The probelm is that /sbin/reboot or /sbin/halt doesn't let kde do all of its loggin out properly. I saw this when I was working with kmix. I would set some things (that are supposed to save when it closes), and after I reboot those things wouldn't have saved. Then, when I tried logging out first and then rebooting, the settings saved fine. I think that when /sbin/halt or reboot or shutdown is run, KDE goes through a quick shutdown/logout that doesn't necessarily shut down everything properly (as happens when you logout of kde). hope this clears things up justin James Spinti wrote: > On Wednesday 12 March 2003 11:10 am, Justin Haaheim wrote: > >>I'd like to configure my computer so that, with one command, I can log >>out and shut down.
