Hello. I have KDE 4.8.4 with 6 screens on Debian. I would like that the first screen start each time on startup, but it doesn't happen this way. Usually it starts on the first screen only if I leave from the first screen. How can I configure KDE so that it starts with the first screen? Thanks.

Assuming you're takling about virtual desktops:
-------------
"kcmshell4 smserver", the present setting will be to restore the last session.
You can either start with a blank session or restore a specific one.

If you want to impact the virtual desktop beyond the session management (ie. have all applications restored on re-login, but only ensure you're starting on VD #1) you'll need the assistance of a cli tool (eg. "wmctrl -s 0") which you can run from and autostart service:

something along ~/.kde/share/autostart/setvd1.desktop
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=sleep 5 & wmctrl -s 0
Name=Set VD #1
Type=Service
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
X-KDE-autostart-phase=BaseDesktop

Thank you. It worked. What I actually wanted was to start with a blank session.
