> Session management is a way to restore your
<SPAN

> session that was running before
you quit the <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
>. I.e. simply quit
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
> and start
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
>
again. <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
> will now along with the
Window Manager try to restore the
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
> session you that was running
before you left <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
>. You can
disable/enable this feature with the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"

Session"</SPAN

> <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"

i.e where e.g the <A
HREF="../../dialogs/gradient_selection.html"
>Gradient Selection</A
>
dialog is displayed on your display. If you use the <SPAN
CLASS="QUOTE"
>"Save
Window Position on Exit"</SPAN
> option then
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
> will save the position of e.g.
the Brush Selection dialog (if it is opened). It can be useful
to arrange your Gimp desktop with this option enabled and then
restart <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>GIMP</SPAN
> and disable the
option. You will there by have a consistent desktop each time
you start Gimp.
