Description Qunfang Zhang 2009-06-11 04:34:54 UTC

Description of problem:
If you choose "use last session" from the session menu on the login screen, gdm always uses the default session but not the last session.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.16.0-56.el5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in using a non default session,select "Just for this sessions"
2. Log out
3. Log in selecting "use last session" from the session menu


Actual results: You get the default session

Expected Results:  You get the same session as the last log in.

Additional info:
This fails with either the default session being GNOME or KDE.  It always ignores the last session.
