Public bug reported:
One of the most useful options in GNOME, is the possibility to have the
system restore the running applications after a reboot (System ->
Preferences -> Sessions -> Session Options)
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->
About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release: 8.04
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename'
or by checking in Synaptic.
I don't know.
3) What you expected to happen
You would expect that if you turn the laptop off, with certain applications in
certain workspaces, when you will turn the laptop on, you will find them where
you left them. This works correctly, but only if you use the same screen you
used at the shut-down.
Well, changing monitor is uncommon for destops, but is everyday activity for
people with a laptop and docking stations.
4) What happened instead
If you change monitor (or docking station, e.g. from work to home) or use the
laptop screen, the session is restored with applications on the wrong
workspace.
I think this is due to the fact that the save/restore process is done
with absolute (i.e. pixel count) positioning in a single workspace
created merging the set of workspaces the user is using. A best approach
would be to save/restore the workspace number and the relative (i.e. %
of the screen width/height) instead of just plain pixel count.
