Thomas, if you start lots of sessions without anyone logging out, you quickly run out of system resources for all the running apps.

But even with a single user on a laptop, I have to deal with the pain or restarting sessions regularly because the laptop doesn't stay plugged in all the time and doesn't have an infinite battery.

Personally, I prefer that Firefox/Chrome not startup until I tell them to because I may not have network connectivity and 40 firefox windows with a couple hundred tabs all reporting "connection failed" is not useful.

The fact that KDE4 would detect when firefox was running at shutdown (even when I start it manually from a shell window) is a bug as far as I'm concerned. Go ahead and restart apps that I started through the KDE menu, but don't try to detect apps that I start from the command line and then start them automatically (especially when you do so without the command-line parameters I provided)
