Saving current session does not work

[jd1008]

I used gnome-save-session, logged out and logged back in.
My previous session (5 apps, each with multiple windows in
several different workspaces) we not restored.
So, since I am a mate DT user, I tried mate-session-save
and logged out and back in. Still, my session was not restored.
These are all the mate packages I have installed.
Please let me know if I am missing the required package.
