Its always advisable to click on,and read the links in full...

Thought I'd post this solution for anyone else surfing for a solution. this has been happening for sometime with my system, but I never bothered to dig into it. In KDE if you go to the system session manager and add ica to the list of applications to exclude from sessions, KDE will never try to restart this after that.

Solution number two, you can killall ica like mentioned and then manually save your system state. Then tell the session manager to only restore manually saved sessions, rather than always.

A third option is to tell KDE to never restore sessions.

A fourth option is if you're not using iTALC - intelligent Teaching And Learning with Computers server and clent software. You can remove them. It's really only needed if you are teaching remotely, or want to demo things to PC clients in a network. It allows you to take control of a computer remotely. If you don't know what iTALC is, you're probably safe in removing it. To test that theory, do an apt-get -s purge libitalc and it will tell you what it would remove. In my case there are no other dependent programs and just the three iTALC applications are purged. This is really an iTALC bug, as the client software should check for a running instance per session and silently die if one already exists.


Did you try these four options as a work around?
