Bug ID: 420348
Summary: Misleading and confusing options under Desktop Session
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.18.4
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Change layout and title of options under Desktop Session.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Under System Settings -> Desktop Session: "On Login", 3. Options:
1. restore previous session
2. restore manually saved session
3. start with an empty session
Also see attached screenshots with comments.
OBSERVED RESULT
Option 1. and 2. actually do the same _on login_: they restore the last saved
session.
The difference between 1. and 2. is actually that 1. saves the session on
/logout/, whereas 2. adds an option in the start menu to manually save the
session. (and I guess it doesn't save on logout?)
EXPECTED RESULT
The wording and placement of these option doesn't reflect the behavior.
Especially with option 2., one could get the impression that one could choose
from different manually saved session. So instead of the 3 listed options on
login there are only two: restore session or empty session.
SUGGESTED FIX
A) Condense option under "On Login" to just two
o Restore session
o Start with empty session
B) New Section: "Session Saving"
□ Offer Save Session in Start Menu
□ Save Session on logout / leave(?)
(notice the squares as representing combo boxes)
