I seem to recall that at one time with CentOS I had the ability to save my gnome desktop and open applications, like terminal, when exiting. The effect was such that when I logged on to a new session those applications would open automatically for me. Is my memory faulty? If not, then has this facility been removed? If neither my memory failed nor the facility removed then how does one do this now in CentOS-5? Regards, -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
