Hi,
do session managers take care about the configurations of audio apps,
e.g. do they save and restore ~/.config/rncbc.org/ too?
Can they launch apps by a terminal emulation as I can do it using a
script?
E.g.
xfce4-terminal --maximize -T "♪ jackd" -e "jackd --sync -dalsa
-r$sample_rate -p$frames_period"
xfce4-terminal --maximize -T "♪ qtractor" -e qtractor\
$song_path/qtr/$song_name-$song_version_qtr.qtr
Somebody on the Arch general mailing list mentioned to use session
managers, when I ask "How to safe configs to another path than ~" -
https://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2013-July/thread.html#…
I'm looking for a solution, not only for audio sessions, but for audio
sessions it's the most important.
Regards,
Ralf

Applications can only save there config files by themselves, a
sessionmanager cant do that ever. All, a sessionmanager can do, is to
ask a application to save it now. If implemented in the application, it
will do so. As well the sessionmanager could give a path to save to, but
the same rule apply as before.

Thank you Hermann,
that was the thought I had.
With good luck the HOME variable might do the job.
HOME=/path/to/session/directory application
but the thread on the Arch Linux mailing list already showed, that the
only way seems to be to write a function call that will replace the
getpwuid() calls by LD_PRELOAD.
If a session manager would do this, I suspect issues for applications
that always should use the original home directory, it at least would
cause a race condition.
Btw. I'm not willing to relearn C at the moment and so I'm unable to use
LD_PRELOAD, so I still need to search the config and than copy and
restore it, when switching between sessions.

Ralf
