So will this version again remember to open up my browser, RSS reader, etc.. as I had left them, or do I still have to do that all by hand?

I still find it hard to believe they just ripped out awfully-ugly-but-usually-working session management code in favour of non-functional stub code for some grand SM redesign. I'm finding it harder to believe they're making releases without putting the working code back in.

That's supposed to be in 2.26.1, according to the latest discussion on the relevant bug.

I donno. Never got session stuff working for me..

Personally I just stick stuff I want to start in the ~/.config/autostart folder and depend on my browser's crash recovery feature to 'recover' were I left off the last web pages.

Then I use gdevilspie to arrange things how I like.

Other applications like RSS reader know which things I've done and not done. That sort of thing. It's not as nice, I suppose, but it does have the advantage of working across multiple desktops types and all different types of applications.
