This usually happens when I login, or the machine wakes from sleep. Can I get top/htop running when I login? Note that I cannot access another desktop, so I'd have to have any programs running on the same desktop (which I don't normally do). Incidentally, I've noticed that konsole desktops are not saved when the machine sleeps for any time. I'm not sure when this stopped, maybe Fedora-22, or some KDE upgrade. Actually, if nobody else has noticed this phenomenon, it is probably not worth worrying about, as it causes little inconvenience. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
