I am getting all sorts of wierd problems trying to get the gnome desktop sessions save to work, and it does not work most of the time or at least I cannot save the durn thing at least once you know, like the Ronco: "Save it and forget it!" sort of thing... ok, ok, so I embellished it.
When is this gonna get fixed - or - shall I ask, has anyone else besides me have an issue with this?
Sigh... Ubuntu got it right, so when is Fedora gonna get it right?
Fedora is my favorite distro but come on, it has not worked right since F9 (barely), at least for me...
grumbling....

Can you be more specific? What is not working. What are the steps that you've taken etc.? Then we can isolate the problem and maybe file a bug.

Well, I recall this was broken for several Fedora releases, ...

Is your (Presuming you to be using GNOME) System ->Preferences ->Startup Applications->Options ->Automatically remember running applications when logging out check box marked "checked"?

Yes, that is correct. it does not save very well, if at all and also , there used to be a save button that at least gives the user a "positive feedback" that the settings are saved. As it is with a standalone checkbox, no such feedback or guarantee is offered because you cannot tell if anything was saved before or after a checkbox was checked and when a user logs off or reboots.
Also, there are strange behaviours, such as when using the desktop workspaces, desktop session saves also remembers which workspace an app was saved, in, positionally, and often times the apps from different workspaces may collapse into a single workspace, become positionally misplaced, or simply disappear altogether.
In short - we need that save session button back no matter what - the ability to initiate a save on demand and not to depend on checkbox method to do a successful save when the user logs out or reboots the system - it is hugely unreliable, or so I think.

Yah this was def a big around a while - I gave up using it and so have not tried f13.
That said - all the buttons used to do was run gnome-session-save which you may be able to run by hand ?

Just tried it. It does not work for F12 & F13 (and F10 and F11)
As I said, only F9 barely works.. it screws up on positional placements.
