Although session save says it saved a session, session restore does not restore all windows to the four desktops in the order they were on the panel... I did look at dconf-editor but despite doing some Googling, it is not clear to me how I can use it to save a particular setup with respect to the specific windows on the desktops and the order on the panel for each desktop. Do you have any pointer to where I might be able to find this information? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
