So, been using i3wm for a bit over a year across multiple distros (Debian6, 7 and Testing; Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04; now Arch).
When pressing MOD+R to reload i3wm, it's always annoyed me that it doesn't keep my terminal layouts (usually stacks them on the screen I am on). Today while monitoring journalctl, I noticed some interesting logs: Jul 04 00:27:30 river /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1200]: 07/04/2015 12:27:30 AM - ERROR: mkdir(/run/user/1000/i3) failed: File exists Jul 04 00:27:30 river /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1200]: [libi3] libi3/font.c Using Pango font Segoe UI, size 10 Jul 04 00:27:30 river /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1200]: [libi3] libi3/font.c X11 root window dictates 96.252632 DPI Jul 04 00:27:30 river /usr/lib/gdm/gdm-x-session[1200]: Exiting due to signal.

It says that this file exists: /run/user/1000/i3 And indeed this directory does. Could this be the bane of my annoyances?
