Hi Doug, it seems I found a workaround for getting the session restored after restarting windowmaker. Commenting out a flag in src/startup.c does it: --- src/startup.c.orig 2012-02-14 20:36:01.000000000 +0100 +++ src/startup.c 2012-02-22 19:20:43.000000000 +0100 @@ -761,7 +761,8 @@ wMenuRestoreState(wScreen[j]); /* If we're not restarting, restore session */ - if (wPreferences.flags.restarting == 0 && !wPreferences.flags.norestore) + if (wPreferences.flags.restarting == 0) + /* && !wPreferences.flags.norestore) */ wSessionRestoreState(wScreen[j]); if (!wPreferences.flags.noautolaunch) { I seems to be sufficient to comment out either the first term (wPreferences.flags.restarting == 0), or the second term (!wPreferences.flags.norestore). In both cases restoring the session work. Only both at once (with &&) does not work. I have no clue what is going wrong here. Perhaps you have an idea? Should we make a patch for that as a workaround? Greetings, Rainer > Rainer > > >> Doug
