konqueror vs. session cookies

[will trillich <will@serensoft.com>]

this may be a bit off topic --

aren't "session" cookies (i.e. those without an expiration date)
supposed to go away when the client (browser program) exits?

i quit konqueror (making sure there are no other instances
running, keeping a 'session' alive) and re-launch it; when i
check settings->cookies, the cookie is still there. or am i
presuming the wrong definition of 'session'?

i've got debian potato with konqueror 2.1.1 (according to its
default startup display) with kde 2.1.2 (according to its
control center display)

:
Why is TELNET considered spawn of Satan? Because every keystroke
sent by you, is transmitted -- clear as a bell -- across the
ether. Anyone can sniff your network packets and see what you're
typing -- passwords, love letters, cold fusion blueprints...
It's as secure as shouting from the rooftops. Everyone can see!
