I generally agree, though I had hoped that the 6.1 version would be a little better and it really isn´t. What worries me is that apparently proper session restore is a missing feature in Wayland itself (Gnome has a non-standard workaround) so I don't know how long we are going to have to wait. This is not a good situation. I would be much happier if we could at least have windows restored to their proper desktops and positions, but I don't know enough to guess how hard that is to do. Is there no way for the 'session save' action to interrogate the window manager (or Wayland server) and save this information? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
