You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: metacity
I guess it's metacity that's meant to do this? When I log out of an X/gnome session, with "automatically save session" set, and log back in again, only one of the previously running xterm instances comes up. I just checked one of the files in ~/.metacity/sessions and there are multiple instances of xterm mentioned in there, at least. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed -- multiple xterms not restoring from X session save https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/52034 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
