I think I'm lucky: the only problem I experience after waking up my laptop is that the screen brightness controls stop working until reboot but I'm never totally confident when I have to put my laptop to sleep... And I agree that suspending is a better solution than my proposal for maintaining a workspace state, but in the same way that we still can power off the computer, we might have another (maybe auxiliar*) way to have a minimal support of resuming states/tasks. *What if I'm in a long travel, I'm really out of battery and I don't know when I'm going to be able to plug my computer to a power source?

I had drafted a few ideas and some code almost two years ago, but I never finished it. Though the exact suggestion you make might be much easier to implement as an extension that my big world domination plan. ;-) For references, see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00042.html https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/DesktopContexts ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

I work/suspend for weeks and in the end either gnome-shell or xorg takes too much memory I have to restart one of them. -- Duy ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
