GNOME_SESSION_SAVE works fine for me. I am using it in a GNOME (3) session started by gdm.
In this case, the environment variable has to be set somewhere that is found by /etc/gdm/Xsession, for example ~/.profile. Hence for those for whom the fix doesn't work: check that the environment variable is set somewhere that is read by your display manager's Xsession script (another suitable place might be ~/.xsessionrc). I have requested in bug #1037616 that /usr/share/doc/gnome- session/README.Debian be updated to reflect the current situation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/771896 Title: No way to save current session To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/771896/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
