Update. I hit this occasional bug where after unlocking/screen coming back from sleep, I could see X, but most of my windows were gone, just not visible anywhere on my screens. When that happens I know it's an E bug, and I have to restart E. I did, and then all my windows came back, however most got moved to different screns/locations than they were before. This is mostly true for chrome windows which aren't location managed by E. I thought E 0.24 would save window positions and leave them be when it restarted? Actually it didn't even touch them at all, it would have been fine (unless the bug where they disappered was because E moved them all off screen). Given that it doesn't do better than 0.23 on that front (for me) and can't fix gnome-terminal after the fact anymore, I'm very tempoted to revert back.
After E came back: - all my chrome windows were totally in the wrong place - I have procmeter3 (apt-get install procmeter3), which E has always struggled to place and size correctly. It was in the wrong place and with the wrong size. For procmeter3, I did window remember all, save. When I re-open, it gives me window/remember/volume. I put it back to all, save, re-open and get window/remember/volume again :-/ - even my gnome terminals got moved slightly, but at least they stayed in the correct virtual window I put the whole config here: http://marc.merlins.org/tmp/E0.24_config.txt On Tue, Sep 08, 2020 at 07:36:16PM +0100, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > well the config e has is the current config so there is no way. if the window > moved, resized etc. e saves the config for remembers again so it keeps it in > sync with the current state. it always has done this.

It's actually a fair amount of work for me to re-lay all these windows carefully (we're talking 20=30mn) plus all the work that I lose when I restart. If we don't find an answer in the config I sent you, or you don't have a spare devel machine where you can easily start a single gnome-terminal to see if it behaves when you make it save settings, I'll try and find a spare machine where I can do that without impacting my main work laptop. Here's a random gnome-terminal window: group "E_Remember" struct { value "version" uint: 1; value "match" int: 59; value "no_reopen" int: 0; value "apply_first_only" uchar: 0; value "keep_settings" uchar: 1; value "name" string: "gnome-terminal-server"; value "class" string: "Gnome-terminal"; value "role" string: "window1"; value "type" int: 8; value "transient" uchar: 0; value "apply" int: 245247; value "max_score" int: 0; value "prop.pos_x" int: 2; value "prop.pos_y" int: 55; value "prop.res_x" int: 3840; value "prop.res_y" int: 2160; value "prop.pos_w" int: 750; value "prop.pos_h" int: 322; value "prop.frame_w" int: 0; value "prop.frame_h" int: 0; value "prop.w" int: 750; value "prop.h" int: 322; value "prop.layer" int: 200; value "prop.maximize" uint: 0; value "prop.lock_user_location" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_location" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_size" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_size" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_stacking" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_stacking" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_iconify" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_iconify" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_desk" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_desk" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_sticky" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_sticky" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_shade" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_shade" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_maximize" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_maximize" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_fullscreen" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_fullscreen" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_border" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_close" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_focus_in" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_focus_out" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_life" uchar: 0; value "prop.sticky" uchar: 0; value "prop.shaded" uchar: 50; value "prop.skip_winlist" uchar: 0; value "prop.skip_pager" uchar: 0; value "prop.skip_taskbar" uchar: 0; value "prop.fullscreen" uchar: 0; value "prop.desk_x" int: 0; value "prop.desk_y" int: 0; value "prop.zone" int: 0; value "prop.command" string: "gnome-terminal-server"; value "prop.icon_preference" uchar: 0; value "prop.offer_resistance" uchar: 0; value "prop.opacity" uchar: 255; value "prop.volume" int: 0; value "prop.volume_min" int: 0; value "prop.volume_max" int: 0; value "prop.mute" uchar: 0; value "pid" int: 0; } Here's a bit on procmeter3, not sure why this fails to save the window properties: group "E_Remember" struct { value "version" uint: 1; value "match" int: 35; value "no_reopen" int: 0; value "apply_first_only" uchar: 0; value "keep_settings" uchar: 1; value "name" string: "procmeter3"; value "class" string: "ProcMeter3"; value "type" int: 0; value "transient" uchar: 0; value "apply" int: 524288; value "max_score" int: 0; value "prop.pos_x" int: 3695; value "prop.pos_y" int: 817; value "prop.res_x" int: 3840; value "prop.res_y" int: 2160; value "prop.pos_w" int: 143; value "prop.pos_h" int: 1341; value "prop.frame_w" int: 0; value "prop.frame_h" int: 0; value "prop.w" int: 143; value "prop.h" int: 1341; value "prop.layer" int: 200; value "prop.maximize" uint: 0; value "prop.lock_user_location" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_location" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_size" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_size" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_stacking" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_stacking" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_iconify" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_iconify" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_desk" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_desk" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_sticky" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_sticky" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_shade" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_shade" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_maximize" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_maximize" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_user_fullscreen" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_client_fullscreen" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_border" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_close" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_focus_in" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_focus_out" uchar: 0; value "prop.lock_life" uchar: 0; value "prop.border" string: "pixel"; value "prop.sticky" uchar: 1; value "prop.shaded" uchar: 50; value "prop.skip_winlist" uchar: 0; value "prop.skip_pager" uchar: 0; value "prop.skip_taskbar" uchar: 0; value "prop.fullscreen" uchar: 0; value "prop.desk_x" int: 1; value "prop.desk_y" int: 0; value "prop.zone" int: 0; value "prop.command" string: "procmeter3"; value "prop.icon_preference" uchar: 0; value "prop.offer_resistance" uchar: 1; value "prop.opacity" uchar: 255; value "prop.volume" int: 0; value "prop.volume_min" int: 0; value "prop.volume_max" int: 0; value "prop.mute" uchar: 0; value "pid" int: 0; } Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
