Xmessages being duplicated on next bootup, and logging in

[Nigel Henry]

I have 2 scripts in ~/.kde/autostart. 1 is to put an xmessage up on the 
desktop, which shows which distro is running. The other shows when the distro 
was last updated.

If I don't close these xmessages, the next time I reboot, and login, I end up 
with 2 instances of both these xmessages, seemingly because the scripts are 
run again when logging in.

I'm quite happy for the KDE session to be saved, as there may be apps open, 
that I still want to be open when I next login, but is there something I can 
add to these scripts that run the xmessages, so that if they are already 
detected as being on the desktop when logging in, these scripts will not be 
run again.

Alternatively. Is there a way to specify that certain things should not be 
restored at login, my xmessages, as an example.

Perhaps I'm asking too much, but is worth a try.

Nigel.
