Description Anders 2018-04-01 10:36:27 UTC 
Arch linux, GDM / Gnome, Xorg.

When choosing Shutdown, Restart Gnome kills running apps resulting in un-graceful shutdown of programs. 

I am thinking of two apps in particular:

google-chrome
guake

If you run google-chrome from a terminal and shutdown with ctrl-c, it shuts down gracefully. If you choose restart. shutdown from gnome shell it does not.

The same goes for guake, loosing bash_history.

Why is this a GNOME problem and not a Google Chrome problem?
Comment 2 Anders 2018-04-02 15:22:15 UTC 
It might not be, what signal is sent on restart / shutdown?

See also threads like e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/3iq2mx/how_do_you_close_chrome_gracefully_in_gnome/ - this is probably a better question for a support forum like https://discourse.gnome.org/
