Check that you have session management configured to start with a manually saved session and then save such a session with open documents and see if restoring the session (i.e. logging in again) restores the documents as well. > I mean such a functionality screen offers for the command line, i login to > a host via ssh start a screen session. there I start a tasks that will last > very long.

The problem is that you are not only killing KDE but the X server, which means all X11 application loose their X connection. Technically it would be possible for applications to try re-establishing the connection, but usually applications quit on connection loss as this is very often the expected behaviour (i.e. users expect CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to kill all applications as well so they can login into a fresh session) Can you check if just KDE is frozen, or if the X server stops responding? For example by logging in on a virtual console or through SSH, setting the DISPLAY variable to point to the running X server and start xeyes. If they xeyes program continues to work KDE is frozen and could be restarted without an X server shutdown. If it doesn't work as well, the problem runs deeper Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer <kevin.krammer@xxxxxx> Qt/KDE Developer, Debian User Moderator: www.mrunix.de (German), www.qtcentre.org
