|---|---|
| Type: | Product Enhancement Advisory |
| Severity: | N/A |
| Issued on: | 2011-12-06 |
| Last updated on: | 2011-12-06 |

Details
Updated gnome-session packages that fix a bug and add an enhancement are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The gnome-session package manages the GNOME desktop session. It starts up the
other core components of GNOME and handles logout and saving of the session.
These updated gnome-session packages fix the following bug:
* Prior to this update, the gnome-session utility may have improperly saved
desktop sessions. As a consequence, when logging in, the running applications
were incorrectly collapsed from multiple workspaces into the first workspace and
their initial position was not restored. This has been fixed: applications are
now restored in their original workspaces and correctly positionally placed.
(BZ#664516)
In addition, these updated gnome-session packages provide the following
enhancement:
* Prior to this update, users were not able to manage multiple custom GNOME
sessions while being logged in. Now, multiple sessions can be managed under the
Options tab of System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. (BZ#622849)
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated gnome-session packages, which
resolve this bug and add this enhancement.
