[SOLVED] unwanted program automatically open at boot

Hello everybody,
I am using archlinux with kde gui and I am a newbie
I configured it to start knotes, bash (just one) and thunderbird via autostart - system settings
When I login, they are loaded correctly but in addition system automatically opens unwanted program, nothing to be worried, simply 3 terminals, a pdf opened probabily once many months ago and some Dolphin windows.
I have checked
- ~/.bashrc
-~/.config/autostart
and i didn't find anything could explain why these programs are loaded.

Could anyone help me?

many thanks

cheers

Eugenio

Is session restore enabled in system settings?

That mechanism is buggy sometimes, just disable it entirely if it's not what you want.
