Layout is not being saved #362

Closed edmcman closed 2 months ago

edmcman commented 1 year ago

Notion is not saving my layout for some reason, even if I manually use session/save.

Here are the contents of .notion:

~ $ find ~/.notion                                                                                                                                                                   09:58:03
/home/ed/.notion

/home/ed/.notion/gnome-session-this-is-deprecated/saved_wd.lua
/home/ed/.notion/gnome-session-this-is-deprecated/saved_queryhist.lua
/home/ed/.notion/gnome-session-this-is-deprecated/cfg_statusd.lua

As the name suggests, I am running notion through a gnome session. Does that have anything to do with the problem, or if is there anything else I should check?

This is because I'm using GNOME under systemd, and it just ignores the messages:

I tried to raise this on the gnome side. The gnome-session devs were jerks. I just opened an issue with flashback, but I doubt they'll be able to do anything even if they want to, since the problem seems to be in gnome-session.

Running notion as a WM in some context such as KDE or GNOME can yield unexpected results. I've only tried KDE plasma and notion misbehaves there too. I don't think anyone right now has the motivation or energy to maintain notion in some desktop environment session context - especially since the desktop environments are starting to make Wayland mandatory. Sorry about that.
