Description Amit Shah 2011-05-28 12:38:57 UTC
Description of problem:

I have several terminal windows and some apps like gnote, firefox, gwibber, etc. running all the time.  I'd like the session to remember the apps and the workspaces they're in so that my desktop is restored on the next login.

Enabling the setting in 'org.gnome.session' property via dconf-editor doesn't quite work:  I only get the apps started by default that were always there before the upgrade to F15 and gnome-shell.

For example, I used pino in F14 but after upgrading, I'm using gwibber.  gnome-shell still starts pino and doesn't start gwibber at login.

Also, the workspaces the apps are on aren't remembered, so at each login I get a cluttered first workspace.  I have to then manually spread out the apps by creating new workspaces.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-06 19:55:06 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
