Start new session...

[Cristian Tibirna]

Oswald, forgive me that I say it, you take this a bit too lightly. What about 
providing a drop-in replacement of a traditional KDM (and the other kdebase 
bits), which would offer the new session thing, so that people really wanting 
it know exactly what they're doing. 

Because...

I beg to differ. In fact, I hate all the "do not show me again" kinds of 
things, even for the light things (like form posting in konq) because there's 
never a way to turn them back on if I want (or if, say 2 months are passing 
between two consecutive usages of such a "do not show me again"--requiring 
feature)

Joking you are, but you can't tell that to newbies (or even experienced!) 
users, they will simply tell "damn KDE, it's crashing like a llama/mokey/[put 
your abundantly salivanting animal here]"

Thanks for listening.
