I know about those ways, but they're not what I'm looking for.
Perhaps someone here knows where the list of currently-opened items that
Restore would use is stored, and maybe I can do something with that. I have
a stock set of things that I always open after a restart, that's easy. What
is not so easy is what I had open in addition to these items after a
restart. My idea is to be able to pick up where I left off after a restart
but selectively.
Now that I am getting familiar looking into the source for various KDE
components, a pointer to which package/source file would get me started.
