Description of problem: When starting a Gnome session from gdm, all terminal windows and other programs are placed in the current workspace (you can flip workspaces while the session is starting and leave programs in the then current workspace). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-session-2.15.90-1.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to Gnome from GDM. 2. 3. Actual results: All windows appear in the current workspace. Expected results: Windows open in their saved workspace. Additional info: Reverting back to gnome-session-2.15.4-2 resolves the problem.
I bet this was broken by Soerens change to run the wm outside the session.
yea probably. So I think gnome-session has some hacks in it now to launch compiz or metacity before starting the session. That should be taken out, and instead, Soeren's wm switcher capplet should blow away ~/.gnome2/session (after warning the user!) when switching wm's.
can you report whether this is fixed in rawhide? I pushed some changes that should resovle this i think.
It's fixed with gnome-session-2.15.90-3.fc6.
great. It looks like my changes caused other problems (see bug 202312), but those should be resolved, too, by tomorrow.
