   You sure there ain't some way to prevent a slew of xterm windows from

   Earlier today, if there was one, there was 60.70.80
   
   Seems like each time I reboot, the number doubles!!!

   the SAME EXACT THING was happening to me. i'm not all that adept
   at configuring this X stuff, so if you ask me there's something
   behind-the-scenes that appears to have a bit of a hole in it.
   (i.e. instead of clobbering the saved session with the current
   session, it appears to APPEND the current session to the
   previously stored session, hence doubling every instance of
   every window for the next time you log in.)
   
   and i'm on woody/stable.
   
   my solution?

        apt-get install kde

   Rob Weir's recommendation worked perfectly:


   "GNOME's session manager seems to b0rked.  Edit ~/.gnome/sessions or
   such and remove 'most' of the xterm entries :)"

   I removed all but one or two of the xterm entries, readjusted the
   sequence of numbers to make them contiguous, changed the last entry
   according and I haven't had a problem since!
