I had already tried out all the suggestions Finally
it turned to be a problem with the hard disk. "fsck"
solved my problem.

Hi,
You probably have, but since you didn't mentioned it
specifically, I'll ask anyway.
Did you mark the 'return to home session' option in
the 'Style manager - Startup' window (instead of the
default 'resume current session' option)?

Sorry if this is WAY obvious, but ... after Setting the Home Session
do you press OK? That step is essential for SAVING your changes.
I recall having exactly this problem a few years ago and I believe
this is what I was doing wrong.

Pravin,
Solution is Remove the .dt directory. When you login next time it get's created
and everything will be set right. If you have time and energy try
figuring out what went wrong.
-Srinivas
---------------------------------------------------------
I assume that you already used "/usr/dt/bin/dtstyle" | Startup and
checked "Return to Home session and
check Logout Confirmation Dialog to "Off" and clicked on "Set Home
Session."
If not please do so and observe the result,
otherwise, if your home directory is NFS mounted from another server,
check your uid on that server to make sure is
the same as that of your local system.
Hope this will work.
Vahid.

There is an option within the control panel for CDE that lets you choose whether
or not you want the windows and positions saved between logouts.
The best option for you, if the colors and nothing else is being saved, is to
create a new user, and see if the new user can save the desktop settings. If
so, then there is something wrong with the files in your home directory... maybe
the permissions... (probably not though).
Give that a try.

Original Question:
Hi sun-managers,
I am working on an Ultra1 with Solaris 2.5.1
and CDE 1.0.2. My desktop settings are not
saved when I logout. I have tried "SETTING" the
home session and then logging out. But the settings
are gone when I log in again. $HOME/.dt/sessions/home
exists.
Strangely enough whenever I do a "cd $HOME/.dt/sessions/home"
the time on all the files gets updated to the current
time.
Can't understand why home session is not retained
and why a "cd" should change the time stamp on files?
Thanks in advance. Will summarize.
Regards,
Pravin
