When can we get a working gnome-sessions package that will allow us to save our desktop/applications settings? Thanks! Dan

When GNOME provides one. Fedora is not upstream for GNOME and is not responsible for this regression that has crossed two major releases of GNOME. -- Marc Wilson | Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. msw(a)cox.net | -- Wittgenstein

Or perhaps more likely when some gnome user gets pissed enough to write the code and submit the patch then rewrite it 47 times to satisfy the picky requirements of the developers, then finally get it approved.

That seems to be an accurate statement. (I read the bugs, it's long, but of course there is no end in sight as far as I can tell) Guess there is no roadmap/milestones for this particular snafu, which is why I asked, Dunno, if Marc is part of the `Gnome' club or is one himself, but does not add much with his comment.

Yes, my being the only person who correctly pointed out that the "problem" is an upstream regression, and something Fedora is not responsible for, is certainly something that does not "add much". <sigh> I reallly should know better. -- Marc Wilson | Raising pet electric eels is gaining a lot of msw(a)cox.net | current popularity.

GNOME 2.26.1 will include the fix and that will be available in Fedora 11. Not sure it is getting backported for Fedora 10 or not. Rahul
