@jogi I know this is quite old but I tried your workaround of comment #59 on Ubuntu 17.10 and it is not working. I am using the script that you kindly provided. The only net result of running the script manually is that Thunderbird and Dropbox are re-opened. I stress that Thunderbird and Dropbox are already automatically started on startup. All the other programs opened in the previous session are not reopened. This is because in the ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session folder are present only the .desktop file of those two applications.
