Is there a log off / log in feature in Tails? i.e. A feature that enables the user to run the same instance of Tails from the start without having to do an actual 'restart'.

Thanks folks.

There are various standard Unix ways to start a "new" GNOME session. However, as currently implemented, Tails does absolutely not guarantee that this "new" session will be equivalent to a fresh start. So, there's currently little point in logging off. A fancy idea someone had at some point was to have a "quick restart" feature, based on kexec, that could even reuse the current session's settings (persistence, etc.).
