RESOLUTION

From xterm, start dtstyle and select Startup:

Resume current session: CDE remembers the last working envrionment before user logs off and opens them again when user logs in.
Return to Home session: CDE opens the user envroinment configured in the Home Session settings.
Ask me at Logout: CDE asks when user logs off.

Set Home Session: Sets the current working envrionment as the default Desktop environment for the user.
