Note that this will fail here at our university; we are "roaming" with 
different platforms, i.e. we have /software/kde-3.5.9/SuSE-10.2/bin 
and /software/kde-3.5.9/SunOS-5.8/bin at the same time mounted via a common 
NFS tree.  Thus, if the saved state includes the full path and this is tried 
*first*, you would get an error because that binary cannot run on the other 
platform.

I thought I'd mention this, but I don't expect this to be fixed.  We're 
suffering from worse problems than that. ;-)
