I had the same problem as Cory. I clicked the Current Session tab and removed everything except gnome-session-properties, then saved session. It solved everything.

I have a beef to settle with the ‘automatically save sessions’ option. Maybe you could help me correct my mistake.

I selected the ‘automatically save sessions’ option just to try it out, and I found it to be a little annoying. I wanted to remove it. The problem with that is to remove the option, I have to open the sessions window (thereby saving the session through said option). I can then unselect the option, but since the last session was saved with the sessions window up on the screen, the sessions window will automatically pop up each time I login.

Is there any way I can remove this option without having the sessions window automatically pop up every time I turn on my computer?

If you are trying to suspend your machine, you should be able to always do a hibernate, which will save your exact place “in time”, so to speak.

This is more for when you always have a set of applications open on particular desktops, that they will reopen in the same desktop position that you left them.

Presumably not the contents of the windows though, so a hibernate is still the best way to do a full resume?
