Description Ivan Gyurdiev 2006-02-04 22:47:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
There is no more "Save Session" button on the log out dialog.
This is a problem, because I don't understand how to save the current session.

The Session preferences dialog has an option which says "Ask on logout," but I
don't get asked any such question. If I make changes to the session in "Current
Session", they don't become permanent, and are reset after logging in again (I'm
trying to get rid of the RHN alert icon).

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Product: should be updated to 'gnome-session'
Comment 5 Sebastien Bacher 2006-05-26 18:56:21 UTC 
the product is correct, upstream dialogs come from gnome-panel, the session dialog from Ubuntu is a distro specific change
Comment 6 Joona Palaste 2006-10-30 08:58:40 UTC 
I have the same problem, I'm using Gnome 2.14 in Fedora Core 5. Gnome 2.8 in Fedora Core 3 asked me if I wanted to save the session information, but in Gnome 2.14 I can't find any way to do so.
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2007-02-18 01:52:44 UTC 
We won't add this checkbox back. You can choose to automatically save on logout, or use gnome-session-properties which now have a button to save the current session.
Comment 8 Lloyd D Budd 2007-02-18 02:11:39 UTC 
Vincent, then has The Session preferences dialog option "Ask on logout" has been removed? Some action was necessary to resolve the issue, one way or the other.
