The problem with gnome is that often both gnome and the underlying window
manager save state. Then both of them replace it. The following time you can
end up with double what you had last time. More than 80 xterms at startup on
my laptop is, uh, non-productive.

I see this behavior a lot on machine in which I don't ever logoff. On the
laptop I just issue a shutdown from an xterm. X or whatever doesn't handle
that properly :(.

KDE shouldn't normally have this problem since the K Desktop usually uses
its own window manager. In other words they shouldn't be fighting to see who
gets to open the apps.
