Description Magnus Boman 2007-03-25 09:18:59 UTC

When logging out of GNOME with Firefox open, the following window appear;

"These windows do not support "save current setup" and will have to be restarted manually next time you log in." (See attached screenshot).
This is happening even though "Automatically save changes to session" is deselected both in "gnome-session-properties" and the "Logout dialog box".
Even worse, next time you login and try to start Firefox, it will tell you that the last session closed unexpectedly.

No interest, closing...

Comment 2 Dan Winship 2007-04-10 15:06:05 UTC

I'm not sure there's "no interest".

There are two parts to this bug: the dialog is from metacity, and is widely
regarded as annoying, and there's an upstream bug suggesting we do something
about it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=160712

The fact that firefox doesn't support XSMP, and so (a) can't save its state
in a way that metacity recognizes, and (b) thinks its been closed unexpectedly
even if you log out cleanly, is also filed upstream: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93789

Comment 3 Magnus Boman 2007-04-10 23:25:19 UTC

Dan,
Thanks for the information.
I'll re-open this one and add the upstream bug number(s)...

Comment 4 Magnus Boman 2007-04-10 23:26:33 UTC

Can't find how to mark it as an upstream bug... Can someone please do that...

Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2007-04-25 20:52:14 UTC

The XSMP part should be followed in bug 227047.

Dan, I leave it to you to solve this for the metacity bit.

Comment 7 JP Rosevear 2007-08-15 16:16:43 UTC

There is an upstream patch for the mozilla piece thats been comitted to trunk, not sure if its back portable.  Wolfgang, Maw what do you think

Comment 8 Mark Gordon 2007-08-21 14:24:16 UTC

Let's leave this bug as the metacity component of the bug, with Bug #227047 as the firefox component, with the question in Comment #7 to be answered there.  We're letting metacity upstream handle this much.  It's only a significant issue because firefox exposes it.

Comment 9 JP Rosevear 2008-08-13 19:36:49 UTC

Re-opening to mark as upstream

Comment 10 JP Rosevear 2008-08-14 21:15:02 UTC

Closing again as RESOLVED/UPSTREAM.
