You can also adjust your session autostart programs.
There's also a place to toggle something on and off if you get a GUI window when you click logout in the Applications menu. I'm using LXQt right now so I logged out and went into XFCE4 to verify what I'd seen in the past. There's a checkbox and something very close to "Save session for future logins" at the bottom of mine. I accidentally clicked it and triggered it on a long time ago so I know it can be easily overlooked when we're focused on things we've done a thousand times. As a related aside since autostart programs were mentioned. This may be something for people to research for slow logins. That makes this thread a total win. Things were popping up all over the place when I logged into XFCE4. It doesn't do that in LXQt. I'd say XFCE4 is doing the right thing by opening everything it finds in a recently altered autostart menu while LXQt is instead just getting bogged down slowly cherry picking at login. I've already seen it with something forgotten that wasn't being found so I blocked it and things started working faster just with that single change. Seriously, this thread for the win! I'll bet you all help a lot of people when we figure out why those two desktop environments are having these two different reactions at startup. A dedicated partition for each is a quick fix that many Users don't have the resources to do. Cindy :) -- Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *
