Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gnome-session package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The gnome-session package manages the GNOME desktop session. It starts up other
core components of GNOME and handles logouts and saving of the sessions.
This updated gnome-session package fixes the following bug:
- gnome-session, also referred to as the GNOME Session Manager, remembers
information such as which applications were open at the time of logout (among
other session details), and restores these applications upon logging in again.
The session properties dialog which ships with gnome-session previously
presented a non-functional "Ask on logout" session saving checkbox. This update
replaces that checkbox with a "Save the current session" button. (BZ#432538)
All users of gnome-session are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
resolves this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
