Description Chris Dukes 2009-04-15 14:55:00 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.
