How to preserve the login session's running apps without hibernation with Gnome?

+1 vote
279 views

When I was running mate on another computer, I would log off or shutdown, and power up and login again and mate would restore all the gui apps in all the workspaces.

Gnome does not do that.

Also, I do not have a way to upgrade to Centos 7 because
1. graphic installation fails (as I have posted here before).
2. I do not want to do text install because it will clobber my existing partitioning scheme and does not provide for modifying the automatic partitioning scheme.

Gnome 2.x window placement with CentOS

When starting a program from the commandline in C5, is there any way to specify where on the screen the resulting window will be put?

I have a nuisance of a problem: Running rdesktop with the -D option (which hides window decorations, making the rdesktop window appear borderless), one cannot (as far as I can figure out) drag the window:
there are no borders to grab, and alt-drag doesn't work either.

it's always opening in a place that covers other windows, and I can't drag it away from there.

specifically: I want to run two instances of rdesktop, and it always plunks the second one right on top of the first one. since I can't drag either of them, I can't see them both at the same time. (I "carefully" configure each of them so they are the exact size of the physical screen, so that it looks like a real windows session, and also prevents me from casually/stupidly closing the entire RDP window by accident.) Since I have two displays, I'd like to place one of them on each screen, by itself.

How to save a Gnome screen layout on CentOS after logging off?

In CentOS 5.10, if I have, say, an X terminal window up on my screen, the next time I log in, it's there when I log in as an unprivileged user.

That's because I can save the layout the way I want to; there's a checkbox for it to save the layout upon exiting.

I see none for CentOS 6.5. So, my X-terminal isn't there when I log in each time.

How to execute gpk-application from modern Gnome

I can't find a way to start gpk-application from modern Gnome desktop. It's nowhere to be found in Activities. Typing "software" brings up nothing. Of course, the brand-spanking new Gnome in F20 apparently feels its too cumbersome to list all installed applications, like in earlier versions. gpk-application runs fine from terminal.

How to create launchers on panel in Gnome 3 Classic Mode

Is there some way to create launchers on the Gnome 3 Classic Mode panel, as was easily done in Gnome 2?

I'm trying really hard to like Gnome 3 Classic Mode, but having a very difficult time of it, because it seems to only provide a superficial resemblance to the Gnome 2 desktop, without actually providing comparable functionality.

Where does gnome-abrt report its crashes to?

I recently submitted a crash report using the gnome-abrt application/applet and would like to file a comment to it. Which bugzilla did gnome-abrt submit it to? I had assumed that the gnome-abr user interface would tell me, or I would get an email from the bugzilla; but neither has happened.
