[solved]xfce4 saving ALL open applications for next startup

In xfce when you click the log out button there is a check box asking if you would like to "save sessions for future logins". I always have had this unchecked, yet each time I start xfce back up again it feels the need to reopen all my previous programs. I'm not quite sure how to fix this, but it is starting to get fairly annoying to have to wait for 10 windows to open up just to check my email roll

Have you tried deleting ~/.cache/sessions

Or something under xfce4 session maybe, I'm not running xfce so I can't check myself

Probably not the correct way to set it but when you logout set the session as you would like it to open then save the session, re-login then on next logout de-select the save session box and it should stay as your previous setting.

Maybe what you want to delete is ~/.config/xfce4-session/

Re: [solved]xfce4 saving ALL open applications for next startup

Exit xfce with no open applications and that silly check box checked. Then log back in and next time remove the check box, also with no apps open. Trivial but it works. I hate that silly feature in xfce - there are numerous posts from many littering forums all over the world with people experiencing the same probs as yourself.


Philosophy is looking for a black cat in a dark room. Metaphysics is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there. Religion is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there and shouting "I found it!". Science is looking for a black cat in a dark room with a flashlight.

I had doubts about this, but it actually did work. I agree, seems like a kind of silly feature.

I'll keep the "sessions" deletion in mind in case I have issues again in the future.

Thanks for the help, xfce starts up super fast now smile
