For the same reason, make sure you use the "-d" switch, when you undock an application that is in a startup script and then dock it again. Few programs do not support session management. For example, thunderbird may not launch itself automatically after you logout and logon. For such applications use the "-l" switch (also accessible through the menu as "Launch on startup"). -KDocker will launch thunderbird on session restoration. +TDEDocker will launch thunderbird on session restoration. -Note that, if you have 4 applications docked using KDocker and you use +Note that, if you have 4 applications docked using TDEDocker and you use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to logout, nothing will be restored when log back in.
