Description Zsolt Barat 2007-11-27 15:39:08 UTC
Please describe the problem:
since i'm upgrade to gnome 2.18 xterms aren't restored correctly. now sometimes even the .Xdefaults file is overlooked. it means that all xterms are restarted on their right virtual desktops but not their position and their former size.
i'm unsure maybe it is an metacity bug.

Steps to reproduce:
1. open some xterms. change their size and position.
2. save session and close
3. restart session


Actual results:
xterms are all restored but not their properties

Expected results:
xterms restored with their changed size and position as it was before

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
im running on gentoo. xterm is 229, xorg 7.3

This seems to be metacity-related. It might be a bug on xterm state saving as well. Reassigning for investigation.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
