small question.
 

i am using mandrake 10.0 +KDE

i need to know what is the command for " starting new session " in a command mode .

i have the option start new session but i have to know by the command mode starting.

Hmm you mean starting a new konsole from command line. It that is what your asking then:

konsole -e program

some programs won't actually leave the window open. If you need the window to stay open:

konsole --noclose -e program

Hope that does it for you...

& if you want to run KDE & GNome at the same time, you may want to upgrade your RAM.
