I think this has always been a half-baked misfeature. For proper session saving/restoring there is suspend and hibernate. Well, there is suspend. Hibernate does not exactly work perfectly for many peole. Nor does suspend... ;-) Is there a way of flashing the loaded applications in memory and all of those handles to disk and just loading it back? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I think this has always been a half-baked misfeature. What's wrong with wanting the window positions memorized? For proper session saving/restoring there is suspend and hibernate. yes, one would want to think so, but then again this is strongly hardware dependent, and therefore unreliable. As others state here already, Hibernate is about the most unreliable feature to avail in Ubuntu, closely followed by Suspend. I'd opt for the window position thingy. And i'd use an engine such as used with from Zeitgeist to make it happen. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

There is CryoPID, but it doesn't work (yet?) with X applications, and doesn't seem to have gotten much support. Could be a nice solution, in an ideal world... http://cryopid.berlios.de/ It's probably X's fault to begin with. Maybe the idea of GNOME session saving dropping in 11.04 is to support session saving under Wayland? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
