Well, there's a fix, but at this point it would be a mess. Revert to 2.22.x GNOME. Upgrade to 2.24.x GNOME when either 1) gnome-session is able to properly handle the legacy session protocol. (Preferable, breaks the fewest apps). 2) The new protocol is adopted by KDE as well and a significant number of apps support the new protocol. (Acceptable, but can lead to a few annoyances). 3) A significant portion of gnome-core 2.24.x supports the new protocol. Then there is politeness. Include in /usr/share/doc/gnome-session a file indicating that GNOME upstream broke backwards compatibility with the old session management protocol and why it was considered a good idea for ubuntu to upgrade anyways. Being able to have applications automatically start up when I log in where I want them has been a standard part of my computing experience for 18 years now. Being able to do that without having to drag out 'vi' has been part of my experience for 7 or 8 years now. -- Chris Dukes "In cynicism she's about 35" -- Terry Pratchett's "Hog Father" -- gnome session does not start window manager nor restores the previous session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249373 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
