Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your response.

I think this started happening few (maximum - one week) days back. At 
least, that's when I started noticing. I usually just suspend my laptop. 
But, when suspend started acting up (another thread on test), I noticed 
this issue! :)

In my case, I usually have "Prompt on logout" checked. On the logout 
prompt, the "Save Sessions" options has always been checked. But 
changing these options seems to have effect based on my testing before I 
posted my first message to the list.

When I click on "Save Sessions", it does update the files. Restarting 
the system seems to load **most** programs correctly. Liferea, for 
example, although open at the time of clicking "Save session", does not 
start.

Restarting with the manually saved sessions seems to work (with the 
exception of liferea). When I restarted the system two times after 
moving the (manual) *session* files to some junk folder (still under 
~/.cache/sessions), restores the session - again with the exception of 
liferea. Thunderbird, Firefox, Thunar open fine.

Will any other information be helpful on this (potential) issue?

Thanks again! :)
