3.3. Managing the Session

3.3.c. To Browse Applications in the Current Session

To browse the applications in the current session, use the Sessions preference tool. The Current Session tabbed section lists the following:

  • All GNOME applications that are currently running, that can connect to the session manager, and that can save the state of the application.

  • All preference tools that can connect to the session manager, and that can save the state of the tool.

You can use the Current Session tabbed section to perform a limited number of actions on the session properties of an application or preference tool. For example, you can edit the startup order, and restart style of any GNOME application or preference tool that is in the list. (Next: To Save Session Settings)
