           Summary: Xfce 4.8 from Fedora Core 17 Xfce spin won't save
                    sessions of LibreOffice
        QA Contact: bjt23 at cornell.edu
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Xfce
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: tashiro at zianet.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: 4.8.3
         Component: General
           Product: Xfce4-session

In Fedora Core 17 (the 64 bit Xfce spin) Xfce 4.8 won't save sessions of
LibreOffice writer even though the "Automatically save session on logout" box
is checked in Applications Menu->Seettings->Session and Startup -General

I speculate that the command to restart Libreoffice is formed with bad syntax
based on the following exercpt from the beginning of an ~.xsession-errors file

[CODE]
/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
ssh-agent is already running; starting gpg-agent without ssh support
xfdesktop[3179]: starting up
Unknown option -session=260eae897-c457-4816-9ab7-8f8a47fa7d85
Run 'soffice --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
Warning: -nologo is deprecated.  Use --nologo instead.
xfce4-settings-helper: Another instance is already running. Leaving...

** (process:3206): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as
enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'

** (process:3206): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as
enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
[/CODE]

I don't know what software is responsible for forming the command "soffice
...", but I've chosen to report the bug to xfce.  When run from a terminal, the
command 

[CODE]
soffice 
[/CODE]

does start LibreOffice.  The message 

Run 'soffice --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

is the message produced when the soffice command is used with unrecognized
options.


On a installation of FC 17 from the 64 bit LifeCD spin and updated, I have:
 3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 21 22:32:19 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux
xfce4-session-4.8.3-1.fc17.x86_64
libreoffice-writer-3.5.3.2-3.fc17.x86_64

This bug is reproducible as follows.

Login
Check the box to"Automatically save sessions on logout" on the screen
Applications Menu->Seettings->Session and Startup - General

Close all applications whose icons appear on the top bar between the logout
icon on the left and the terminal window icon on the right)
Open a single terminal from Applications Menu->System->Terminal
Open a single file manager using the icon at the bottom of the desktop
Open LibreOffice writer from Applications Menu->Office->LibreOffice writer
Create a document with LibreOffice writer.  Save the document.
Leave the window of LibreOffice writer open.
Log out.
Log in again.  The terminal and filemanager will appear but the LibreOffice
window will not.
