Terminal window workspace layout

I recently upgraded two systems from Fedora 17 to Fedora 19.  My typical layout has 4 workspaces, with several Terminal windows scattered throughout them.  Under fc17, when I saved my session on Logout, the terminal windows would all appear in their respective workspaces when I restarted X11.  But, in fc19, all the terminal windows appear in the first workspace when I restart X11.  I've tried saving the session in both the session manager settings and at logout, and they all still pop up in the first workspace.

   Pertinent versions are:

xfce4-session-4.10.1-1.fc19.i686
xfwm4-4.10.1-1.fc19.i686
xfce4-terminal-0.6.2-1.fc19.i686

   This happens on both systems which were upgraded.  I've tried completely removing the .config/xfce* directories and .cache/sessions directory.  The default terminal appcliation is xfce4 terminal, but it does the same thing with Gnome terminal.

   Any ideas?

Re: Terminal window workspace layout

So, is no one else having this problem?  Does Terminal layout work on restore for anyone else?  Or, am I the only one that uses xfce4_terminal?

Re: Terminal window workspace layout

I just tried it on a system running in a vm, it is a 'pure' Xfce installed from the F19 live cd with few changes. I got the same thing happening. It isn't something I usually do so can't say how well it worked before.
You could try reporting a bug, might be worth asking on the Fedora Xfce mailing list too - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce

This has been happening for me since day 1 with F19.  I'm just glad it isn't just me.

And yes, it happens whether F19 is running on the iron or inside a VM.

Annoying as heck...

Re: Terminal window workspace layout

I just posted a patch for this in the bugzilla entry.  I'd appreciate it if you tried it out.
