I've discussed this further with Kate on IRC; the risks here are not risk of regression, they're risks that users will shoot themselves in the foot by using this feature. But the agreement that came out of UDS was that didrocks would give me (and other users like me) a loaded gun pointed downwards to do with as we wish, and that it would be kept in a locked cabinet not found in the GUI; this upload precisely implements that request, so release-wise I don't think there's a reason to block it - the calculus wouldn't meaningfully change in q, or post-release.
So with Kate's consent, I'm accepting this for precise after all. -- 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 “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gnome-session” source package in q-series: 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.
