== Understanding Sessions ==
Each time a user logs into the Fedora desktop they create a ''session''. This session lasts right up until the point that the user logs out of the desktop or switches to another user. When a session starts , a number of programs are started automatically. Many of these are required for the desktop environment to function and are largely invisible to the user. Others may be applications which the user prefers to have started each time she logs in. Fortunately the GNOME desktop makes it easy to control what gets started when a specific user logs in.
