Re: Session management
Are you blind ?! This is the solution like I typed it below. Menu then pops up and in the left side you see entry "starting programs". Click on it - and then you can enter all programs you need at start-up after login. (Manomanoman... more is not possible... otherwise there would be ports open then... Not so good, when you type your password at login...)

I've turned off Firefox's "restore session" feature, but then it doesn't work either. I get the two Firefox windows, which I saved in the Window Session Manager session, and an additional three new Firefox windows. It's crazy.

Your installation instructions work well. Thanks. But the Window Session Manager extension doesn't. I can save the session, but it gets all messed up when I restore it. Most windows get opened on the first desktop. Evolution doesn't get reopened at all... I've tried removing all the (four) autostart programs, but this doesn't help.

Re: Session management
Volker, On https://askubuntu.com/questions/1084389/automatically-remember-current-running-applications you should also read the "Answer" section after reading the question. So, the first and only answer mentions that there is a Gnome Shell extension that can be used as the session manager: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1323/window-session-manager/ I've tried that on a Ubuntu 18.04 virtual machine (with Gnome Shell 3.28.4) and my conclusion is that it works but is quite complicated to install. Here are the steps that worked for me: (1) Install package manager for Node JavaScript platform: $ sudo apt install npm (2) Using npm install the linux-window-session-manager package: $ sudo npm install -g linux-window-session-manager (3) Install GNOME Shell extensions integration for web browsers (this is required for the next step to work): $ sudo apt-get install chrome-gnome-shell (4) In Firefox (or Chrome) open https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1323/window-session-manager/ and enable the Window Session Manager extension by turning the ON switch. After that the Gnome extension displays an icon in top panel where you save your windows session before logging out and also restore a session after logging in. Hope this helps. -- rpr.
