You might check out the O'Reily "X-Windows system administareator's guide"
and teh similar but much larger users guide by the same publisher.  I've
had extremely good luck with teh O'Reily books, and have never heard
anyone gripe at them (I don't have the users guide though - it's probably
pretty good).

KDE saves desktop configuration.  KDE-specific apps will save tehir state
when you properly log off, other x apps will be restarted, but their state
will not be saved.

Of course, I'm sure there are a few out there that don't like KDE 'cause
it's a bit bloated:

SIZE  SWAP   RSS  SHRD   LIB  DT COMMAND
2164     0  2164  1812     0  88 kbgndwm 
2364     0  2364  1952     0 103 kwm 
2372     0  2372  1988     0  96 krootwm 
4320     0  4320  2276     0 511 kpanel 
4940     0  4940  3204     0 434 kfm 

Granted, this is after being up for about a week, and a few of those
things kinda leak (as does my X server).  But who leaves X up for a week?
:)  This is also beta3, there's a beta4 out now which is supposed to be a
little better.
