I quote "if you want to set a clean start session (or update it), you can do it pretty quickly without having to go in the preferences, activate session saving, then log out, log in again, disable saving"
of course, and also, the machinery here described is really an hackish way to do what one is willing to do, which is save my session now and now everytime I log out (especially since there exist applications that do not respect the session saving protocol, and anyway since I can logout without closing applications). And also this is bugged in dapper, since if you disable auto-session- saving after having enabled it you find unrelated windows (a nautilus file manager and the session properties dialog) when you log in again, and you can't get rid of them. A workaround to this bunch of bugs is to use the "gnome-session-save" command, but you can't use it in a terminal window because it will save the terminal window. So you can add an entry at the end of the applications menu, using alacarte (right click on the application menu and modify the menu), which runs the command "gnome-session-save", name it "save session", and you're done, you have now the possibility to save session whenever you want without incurring in the other bug I mentioned. -- Feature request : shortcut to save session while logging out https://launchpad.net/bugs/44010 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
