[Bug 899755] [NEW] gnome terminal does not save session

 

Public bug reported:

Now this could be a feature request, it could be an upstream issue.
The problem has been present since Hardy, but has taken on new form with
the new session management of gnome3

This might indeed become a "feature request" rather than a bug
considering how long this has gone.

On logout this is how it used to behave:
Currently running terminal sessions - the path and the location - were saved, and restored on login.

Many other applications (eg: chrome, thunderbird, firefox) do this, but
this has been lost along the way.   The reason I think it may be a
feature request though - is gnome now does not seem to recover session
for any application and I have to restart essential running programs
(eg: ibus) every time I log in.

If there's any hints or pointers, please post.   I'm a programmer who
depends on this feature to manage several different operational trees.
