[Bug 78208] Re: Session should be saved on logout

[Michael Stather]

It's common e.g. in KDE that the session is saved on logout (you can't
switch it off at all). Usually there are no apps open when you logout,
and it's IMHO a very intuitive thing that the apps that were open at
logout are present at login again.

There's another thing (which is a little bit more important). Many apps
such as gaim (or skype) rely on session management since it's common on
linux systems. I mean that e.g. gaim has no option to start minimized or
in tray. The developers say that gaim supports session management and
that's enough, so all the user has to do is to start it one-time. When
you restart the system gaim will keep the last status, window state,
position and so on.

[Bug 78208] Re: Session should be saved on logout

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thank you for your bug. There is a configuration option to automatically
save the session. Doing that by default could be confusing. Note that
applications like gaim can be added to the startup list from the
preferences dialog too, no need to store de session to start them.
Marking the request rejected, that's an option and better to keep a non-
confusing default value
