Hibernate is completly different from saving a session in a file. What's

Am I correct in understanding that this fix does not restore the gnome-

You need to export the variable to the environment of gnome-session,
which does not read .bashrc. Try setting it within /etc/X11/Xsession.d
instead.

GNOME_SESSION_SAVE works fine for me. I am using it in a GNOME (3)
session started by gdm.
In this case, the environment variable has to be set somewhere that is
found by /etc/gdm/Xsession, for example ~/.profile.
Hence for those for whom the fix doesn't work: check that the

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
If there is no /etc/gdm/Xsession on your system, then you're not using
GDM, and my approach may not work for you. You could switch to using
GDM.
If you have no ~/.profile, I am surprised, as Ubuntu creates one by
default when a user account is created, and has done for many years.
However, you
Note that, rather confusingly, GNOME_SESSION_SAVE only controls whether
the session is *restored*, not whether it is *saved*. To ensure that it
is saved, you must set org/gnome/gnome-session/auto-save-session in
dconf, e.g. with dconf-editor.
