Is there any progress regarding this issue? I just tested Gnome 3 on Ubuntu and you need to tweak it a bit but afterwords it seems to be quite good. But the session saving does not work. Also the suggested fix does not work (Ubuntu 12.10).
For me this is also a show stopper and i will switch back to KDE if it is not solved, cause otherwise the desktop is for me not usable. I would suggest anyone to install Kubuntu or KDE on Ubuntu if you want proper session restore. I also did not have any problems with chrome, firefox, thunderbird or some other applications except RubyMine that i do have to start manually. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771896 Title: No way to save current session Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-session There is no way I can find to set up a session the way you'd like to have Unity start up and then save that setup.
