Description Tomislav Vujec 2009-04-01 04:50:13 UTC
Created attachment 337438 [details]
Proposed patch to remove the warning.

Description of problem:
When started without session related command line parameters (e.g. from
gnome-session), metacity picks up client_id from the DESKTOP_AUTOSTART_ID
environment variable. Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish if this was
passed from a config file, representing old saved session, or generated by
gnome-session, therefore load_state is attempted in each case. If the client_id
is generated, there will be no session file, and metacity will report a
warning. Since use case of starting new fresh session is much more common than
loading existing saved session, most users will find a warning in their session
log file (e.g. .xsession-errors), which can be fairly confusing. Warning should
be either removed or changed to a debug message. Alternatively, there should be
a method to distinguish between generated and restored IDs, but that might
require changes to the autostart specs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.26.0-1

How reproducible:
Log into gnome desktop without any saved sessions.

Actual results:
metacity reports warning:
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file <HOME>/.config/metacity/sessions/<ID>.ms: Failed to open file '<HOME>/.config/metacity/se
ssions/<ID>.ms': No such file or directory

Expected results:
No warning.
