Hello Ivan,

yes you did. The point is that when setting "restore manually saved session" as the login behavior (setting for ksmserver) then the "save session" button appears in kickoff and only what was running at the time you click that button should then get started at all future logins.

The needed change for this to work would be for kamd to _not_ save the running state to file every time it changes, but instead only when asked by the session manager to save state. (For applications that is done by overriding the implementation of QApplication::saveState() or by using KSessionManager)
