Well, as I said, I am just wondering. I don't use alarms ATM.

Neither did I ever save my session when logging out. I only manually
added gkrellm to the session to start on login. I don't like
automatically recreating all running apps and I even close my apps
before logging out...

That said: Nope, no process with substring 'evo' after login.

Is this planned to be automagical or is the user intended to always save
sessions? IMHO that should be more clear -- otherwise users might count
on being alarmed although they won't.

Maybe I am just not getting the point...
