Hi everytime I log into a kde session the kmix mixer window is always open eventhough I set my window behaviour so that I get a clean session when I log in. I know this sounds trivial but I can't seem to disable it (unless I uninstall it). Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know how to fix it?
if you have it in the system tray it'll always start up, but the window should not be up, so I believe you hit exit, and it says like, kmix will continue running in the tray, is this ok, or it might do it automatically. I that's not working let me know.
Yeh, I do press exit and the mixer closes and kmix continues to run in the system tray. But next time I log in, the mixer window will be open again. This happens even if I quit kmix mix altogether, weird huh?
KDE Control Center => KDE Components => Session Management.
Which setting do you have for "Login options"?
If it's "restore last session", then you might want to actually kill all instances of KMix using killall -9 kmix (because there's obviously one saved in your session that you cannot see, which is being reopened when you restore the session).
If it's 'Restore manually saved session' (and you have the option to save your session at logout turned on), then maybe you haven't saved your session in a while, and so the only session available to restore is one that had KMix open at the time of logout. So try closing all open instances of KMix (again using killall -9), open a new instance and get it in the tray, logout, login, and see if the problem recurs.
Alternatively, you could set the Startup Options to 'Start with an empty session', logout, and log back in, which will then not reopen any programs that you had open at logout. If that works correctly, then open KMix normally (if it is not already open and in the panel), then go back to kcontrol, and change the startup options back to 'Restore last session', then log out and back in again, which should also solve the issue.
Thanks for the advice but I've already tried that... I think the problem is I use an ibm laptop which has a plugin for the ibm volume control. This plugin is linked to kmix and thats why it's always open when I start up. Like I said this is no real big problem so I'll just live with it
