I can't find anything at all about this on the forums.

System > Preferences > Sessions > Session Options

offers `Remember currently running applications'.

I've been using this since 7.10 to remember my terminals
but it's not working under 8.10.

I use 8 workspaces with terminals in 7 of them (FF in the other)
and each runs a different profile, so I can see at a glance where
I am. (I live on command lines amap.) It'll be a real pest if I have
to start this all up manually each logon.

I checked that gnome-session is installed. The version number changed
from 2.20.1 in 8.04 to 2.24.1 in 8.10

Under ~/.gnome2/ there's no session directory. And no ~/.gnome/

Running gnome-session on the command line produced

WARNING: Failed to acquire org.gnome.Sessionmanager

Running gdmsetup didn't provide any relevant options.

Can anyone suggest what to try? I really rely on this feature.

TIA, Mak
