Description g111 2022-02-28 11:12:51 UTC 
SUMMARY
IMHO the two options in "Desktop Session" for "When logging in" are too similar:
a) Restore previous saved session
b) Restore manually saved session

I had activated option a) and expected that my manually saved session would be restored. But certainly it was not. The thing is that you only understand option a) if you continue to read option b). A manually saved session was saved previously, too, so the wording of a) is unclear.

My suggestion for a better wording for option a) is something like:
"Restore last session"
or "Restore automatically saved last session"

Kind regards
Gert
