I have 2 scripts in ~/.kde/autostart. 1 is to put an xmessage up on the desktop, which shows which distro is running. The other shows when the distro was last updated. If I don't close these xmessages, the next time I reboot, and login, I end up with 2 instances of both these xmessages, seemingly because the scripts are run again when logging in. I'm quite happy for the KDE session to be saved, as there may be apps open, that I still want to be open when I next login, but is there something I can add to these scripts that run the xmessages, so that if they are already detected as being on the desktop when logging in, these scripts will not be run again. Alternatively. Is there a way to specify that certain things should not be restored at login, my xmessages, as an example. Perhaps I'm asking too much, but is worth a try.
