Every time I log in, it restores all my running programs. As someone who uses restarting to close programs en masse on a regular basis, thinks kind of throws a wrench in things! :lol:

How do I stop it from doing this?

Did that. Didn't work. I thought Mageia may have had a different way of doing it, but it must just be a Cauldron bug.

We are not the only ones seeing this. See report in upstream bugzilla: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10141

Hi,
My xfce4 that comes with mageia 3 does that too.
Close all windows before executing.
Sounds like microsoft windows.:)
Or use another desktop.

Try to remove old sessions by removing ~/.cache/sessions/
