Recovering gvim windows/sessions after startup (KDE/Linux)

Hi all,

I am facing a problem since some months now, and I thought it would be worth asking the community if there is a simple solution.

I am using KDE/Ubuntu (KUbuntu to be accurate) and I used to keep several gvim sessions/windows open when I shut down my computer. When starting up again, the windows used to come back as they were, with the full editing session on each of the files which were opened before the shut down.

Since some months, this does not happen any more. I basically get back gvim sessions, but these are basically empty and it looks like there is no "name" attached to the file it tries to open.

So basically: rebooting my machine does not make the gvim windows/sessions come back as they were, but only empty windows.

Is there is simple way out ? Any hints would be most welcome!
Thanks in advance .
