Description of problem: Updated to 3.5.7-0.1 and my previous setting of restoring a saved session was lost and instead it restored the session as it was on logout. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.7-0.1.fc7 How reproducible: haven't tried.
Yes, the default was changed in upgrade kde-setting-3.5-29 -> kde-settings-3.5-29 "Restore manually saved session" to "Restore previous session" See bug #242564 for background.
Hm, so I guess when I went from FC6 -> F7 it no longer saved my loginMode in ksmserverrc because it was now the default? Then when the default changed I got the new default? If so, what a pain. You might make note of it in the update announcement. I'm surprised the setting went away though as it was something I had to explicitly set way back whenever it was that I first set it (RH9?).

Yes, this was changed somehow accidentally with the introduction of kde-setting (e.g. in the kde-settings-3.5-28.fc7.1 which shipped in F7). (It was one of the places where the kde-redhat setting and the setting in the official Fedora packages were different. There was no time left before the F7 release to look at all the differences and discuss them, so some unwanted changes slipped in. See bug 242564 for details.) kde-settings-3.5-29.fc7 restores the original Red Hat / Fedora default, your problem is an unfortunate side effect.
