I think I found what's wrong, but haven't found a good workaround yet. The smoking gun is in ~/.xsession-errors:
** (gnome-terminal:6994): WARNING **: Error parsing options: Unknown option --sm-config-prefix, passed from terminal child "gnome-terminal --help" reveals gnome-terminal version 2.22.1 (delivered with hardy) no longer supports --sm-config-prefix or --sm-client-id (as does gutsy's 2.18.2). I tried manually stripping those switches from the gnome-terminal entries in ~/.gnome2/session, and the mention in .xsession-errors does go away, but the restore gets confused. -- After upgrading to hardy, gnome-terminal windows are not properly restored on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221144 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
