I believe this happened before recently - XFCE does not remember
sessions anymore. I tried clearing the ~/.cache/sessions/* and
restarting the system - this does not affect the behavior in any

Is anyone else seeing this?
Yes, I am. Both under F19 and F20!
How can I troubleshoot this and what information should I provide
for getting to the root of this?
I have no idea. I've been playing with various of the "usual
suspects", which used to work in the past, but no success on F19/20
so far.
Odd. I do not see this here (with rawhide), nor have I gotten any bugs
on it. ;(
So, can you folks pinpoint about when it started doing that?
(perhaps it's an update that caused it?)
Unfortunately, no.
All I can say, *automatic session* saving already was flakey during
f17/f18, but since having upgraded to f19 it almost never works.
Also, the symptoms I am observing seem not consistent and
non-systematic/non-deterministic.
I usually work with 6 virtual workspaces and use "automatic session
saving", typically with many terminals (gnome-terminal and
xfce-terminal) and very few GUI apps (e.g. thunderbird, firefox,
nautilus, vlc) spread across these virtual workspaces.
Also, I often "su" to other accounts in some of these terminals and
often ssh'ed into other machines inside of these terminals. Furthermore,
I am using nfs/yp/automounted homes.
When re-loggin in,
- sometimes, *all* "saved apps" appear on virtual "workspace 1",
plastered on top of each other.
- sometimes, I end up with an empty workspace.
- sometimes, some GUI-apps seem to be restored, but the terminals aren't.
- on one machine
My guess would, be there are several issues interacting, with xfce only
being one part of the game. SELinux (I have been observing sealerts
referring to /home/<user> with homes being shared between f19 and f20),
systemd and something related to the GPU (kernel or x-server) definitely
are involved on occasion.
If you pull up prefs-> sessions and startup what do you have checked
there?
X Automatically save session on logout
X Prompt on logout
In ->Advanced:
X Launch Gnome Services
Everything else is unchecked.
[That's part of what I was referring to as "usual suspects" - I have
been playing with these settings, but ... no deterministic improvements,
so far.]
If you go to the "Session" tab and click 'save session' does the
~/.cache/session* files get updated?
Yes, it does.
