Okay, my window manager got stuck again today and I was able to check it 
out: when I switch to VT 1, my session is still running, but when I go 
back to F7 (I tried F8, there's nothing there) and I get the welcome 
screen, my session is gone.  This tells me it's not my bash profile who's 
dropping the ball but indeed something with session-management.  Is it a 
kubuntu thing?
