GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 704675
Applications and workspaces not remembered on session-restore
Last modified: 2021-06-14 18:23:05 UTC
Using Fedora 19. This is a regression from F18 (gnome 3.6) $ rpm -q gnome-session gnome-session-3.8.2.1-2.fc19.x86_64 From the downstream bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=967715 This is a regression from F18: I updated to F19 via fedup and upon logout/login, all the applications start on workspace 1, instead of the shell creating as many workspaces as were enabled during the logout. E.g. I have an instance of Firefox on workspace 5. F18 used to start firefox on workspace 5 on login, but on F19, it's started on workspace 1. This also used to work for multiple instances of the same app. e.g. I had several instances of evince showing different pdfs on various workspaces: 1, 4, 5, etc.. and on F18, the evince windows used to show up properly on the workspace they were originally on.
gnome-session-properties is no longer included in gnome-session.
Well, what about the bug, though: session isn't restored; what component is responsible?
Re-opening as this still bites me, and is a regression in the 3.x series. Latest tried with gnome-session-3.10.1-1.fc20.x86_64
Still a problem with gnome-session 3.14.0-1.fc21.x86_64
Still a problem with gnome-session-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64
This issue has now been duplicated in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues/703 so maybe move there?
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of gnome-session, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-session/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
