I know. I worked on GNOME 2 in the 1.x days. It was impossible to get momentum on this because it is a hard problem to solve; most people working on GNOME never had anything like it, so they didn't know what they were missing or care; and some were convinced that people really did want everything to shutdown unable to be restored because somehow they couldn't do that any other way. I have downgraded my work habits in the last decade because I lost my good computer, was stuck on Windows for a few years, and came back to a rather hobbled version of GNOME. It was a while ago; maybe mainstream GNOME was already hobbled back then, but I know session saving never worked correctly. The point is, maybe restarting the apps I use now is low-cost, but it could be cheaper and I could be doing more. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
