gnome-session is saving and restoring incorrectly. Disabling gnome-session auto-save resolves the problem. This is likely related to upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645539 This problem occurs when gnome-session-save is selected. When the session is saved gnome-shell.desktop is filled with the contents of the mutter.desktop file. what about the 3.0.1 packages (gnome-shell, mutter, gnome-session) ? This is still a problem with gnome-shell-3.0.1. Session saving is apparently broke with gnome-shell and has been since the devs moved to using mutter in gnome-shell. Fedora 15 has this bug as well and is considered high priority before F15 is released. Ubuntu disabled session saving by default. So I guess it would be nice to document how to disable session-saving system wide so that for those who want to use gnome-shell don't run into this problem. Here is another upstream bug in regards to this behavior. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634761 (In reply to comment #4) > This is still a problem with gnome-shell-3.0.1.

It's related with https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/mutter-3.0.1-2.fc15?_csrf_token=30c239e8c8ea2fa4f92e93140b0a54b8c31150ea ? Picked the upstream bug by reading the fedore/redhat bug. And here is the supposed fix pushed upstream. http://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/commit/?id=c248c57b6e48b230fc80e3bd53d0d41fb713848a I've confirmed that the upstream patch fixes gnome-shell session saving. So if someone with commit capabilities will apply the patch to mutter then this bug can be closed. Patch pushed to the overlay, thanks for reporting! |
