It works partially in that I can start Konsole in the right place but my requirements for Dolphin seem to be too complex to be specified. I want 3 Dolphin windows on the same desktop. Two of them have split panes. The other has a single pane but also a terminal view (which the others don't). Plasma seems unable to handle that, though it may just require more work to configure - you need to understand terminology such as "Window class" etc. which I'm hazy about. What I really want is a way to automatically restore a session (i.e. restart my basic set of apps in the right places and with the right default settings), but that isn't likely to happen any time soon. poc -- _______________________________________________ kde mailing list -- kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
