[Desktop-packages] [Bug 771896] Re: No way to save current session
Hello, Thank you very much for your update. I'm glad to hear that it works for someone. I tested Desgualdo's script with no success, maybe due to my lack of knowledge. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with GNOME (3) Classic (Fallback) mode. Unfortunately I can't find /etc/gdm/Xsession nor ~/.profile or ~/.xsessionrc. I wonder how to apply your approach to my system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again. I have just checked it with dconf-editor and /org/gnome /gnome-session/auto-save-session was set to TRUE already. And, of course, without effect. I reckon that I may have missed the point of this bug mistaken GNOME_SESSION_SAVE for AUTO_SAVE_SESSION, as my problem is that my session isn't auto-saved upon shutdown and recovered at startup as it was with Ubuntu 10.04's GNOME 2. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771896 Title: No way to save current session Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-session There is no way I can find to set up a session the way you'd like to have Unity start up and then save that setup.

Thank you for the tip Kartikeya. In other systems I'm starting to use Xubuntu too with interesting results, but I keep GNOME in my main computer for the moment. I've read that even Canonical is going to freeze GNOME 3 versions in 12.04 LTS to avoid further changes in Nautilus that steal even more options from users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771896 Title: No way to save current session Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-session There is no way I can find to set up a session the way you'd like to have Unity start up and then save that setup.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 771896] Re: No way to save current session
Hello, As this bug is marked as Fixed I just wanted to make clear that GNOME_SESSION_SAVE=TRUE does *NOT* work in Ubuntu 12.04 Classic (updated to date, so with the released fix). No window/application is saved and re-opened/re-launched on startup. I understand that it should be marked as pending until it is proven to work, what seems not for other users as for the last comments. I find, as many, this feature not only useful but necessary for day-a-day use. It is often more useful a window opened in the last session than any post-it. This is the kind of issues keeping away previous users of GNOME2. I would like to contribute something but sadly I am not programmer/developer of any kind. I hope to see some progress soon. I will try Desgualdo's script in the meantime.
