Description of problem: When using the "Settings Menu" panel applet to logout, the current session is always saved, regardless of the preferences set at "Preferences -> Session and Startup -> General". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.8.1-5.fc15 (this is on F15 with all updates, I'm not sure if this is the right component to file this bug. How reproducible: At "Preferences -> Session and Startup -> General" unselect "Automatically ..." and "Prompt on ..." (the latter does not really matter, as this log out method does not seem to have an option for this) and log out via the "Session Menu" log out item. IMHO, when using this log out method, the session should ONLY be saved if "Automatically save session ..." is set. PS I just switched to Xfce (because of GNOME3 ;-)) and I don't know if this problem is new or has existed for ever.
Yeah, this is a regression in 4.8 sadly. See: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7915 (and also: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7800 https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7696) A fix is being worked on. Hopefully along soon. :( Sorry for the trouble... in the mean time as a workaround you could just remove the session file from ~/.cache/sessions/ ?
Thanks for the suggestion, but for now I'm using the "Action" applet with the "Log Out Dialog" and then nothing is saved, unless you choose to do so.
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
