Public bug reported:
The session manager opens almost all saved windows in the same
workspace, regardless of which workspace they were in when they were
saved.
This appears to be a problem related to the applications. Gedit windows,
for example, are all restored to their prior workspaces. Firefox's are
not. (Gedit seemed to be handling sessions brilliantly at first. It
would also keep docs in quiet sleep until the remote data disk they came
from was mounted again. But it appears now to be simply crashing out and
not loading at all).
So, e.g. I just started from a saved session. The session opened in
workspace 9 of 10. (I think this may have been the last active workspace
at shutdown). The windows of that session had been spread across 10
workspaces. With the exception of terminal (I'm not sure if terminal
knows what it's doing but it at least didn't pile into workspace 9 with
all the others) and Gedit (which didn't open at all - it may not have
made it into the saved session), they all loaded into worspace 9 :
Firefox, Quod Libet, System Monitor, Okular, Tor, Thunar.
Some of these windows were already in workspace 9 when I shutdown. I
shall have to catalogue the behaviour more carefully. But this at least
gets the gist of the bug down.
