For my session, I use "a previously saved session". I found suggestions to switch to starting with an empty session a couple of times, then switching back to a saved session. Saving a session creates ~/.config/session so before saving a session I deleted that to make sure there was nothing left over there. Originally I had noticed a dolphin related file in there. Saving a session when I had no dolphin window displayed removed it. However, upon logging off the session, one mysteriously appeared so the next time I logged in a dolphin window appeared. I also found dolphin mentioned in the file ~/.config/ksmserverrc. I tried renaming that (so I would not lose it), then I logged out and logged in a few times and a new ksmserverrc was created. That, in combination with making sure there was no mention of dolphin in ~/.config/session and starting with an empty session for a bit and then going back to a saved session seems to have kept the dolphin window from showing up when I log in. However, there is still a dolphin process running no matter what I've tried. ps -ef | grep dolphin charlie 3324 1 0 Feb22 ? 00:00:03 /usr/bin/dolphin --daemon (Now, if I could just get pulseaudio to stop resetting volume to 100% after a logout/login, and yes I know about flat-volumes=no and removing ~/.pulse so PA can create a new one, but that's a problem for a different thread!)
