GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 499996
xterms are not restored correctly by their size and position
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:09:19 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.
