GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 579056
Session save of multiple open gnome-terminals still not working.
Last modified: 2009-04-15 20:24:51 UTC
Please describe the problem: With 2.22.x and prior it was possible to bring up a set of gnome-terminal windows, place them, save the session information via gnome-session-save or with the appropriate session or startup-programs setting and log out. With gnome 2.24.x gnome-terminal did not speak the new session protocol and gnome-session did not properly handle the old session management protocol. Per bug 575307, and others, gnome-terminal is now supposedly speaking the new session management protocol. However, it is not saving session information such as multiple gnome-terminal windows open. Steps to reproduce: 1. add new user with home directory 2. log in as the new user. 3. Open a gnome-terminal 4. Tell gnome-terminal to open another new terminal 5. Set system->preferences->startup programs to save session on logout 6. logout 7. log back in again. Actual results: One gnome-terminal window is opened. Expected results: Two gnome-terminal windows opened, in the same location I placed them when I logged out. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: I have not had chance to check behavior on tabs and gnome-session-save vs the save on logout setting in startup programs. The old behavior was such that tabs were also saved in the session information and I could run gnome-session-save followed by a ctrl-alt-backspace and have everything come back correctly.
Which g-t version exactly is this with?
2.26.0
This should be fixed in 2.26.1, please try. If you can still repro then, please reopen the bug.
