All windows restored to same GNOME workspace about linux-window-session-manager HOT 7 OPEN

Hi there! Thanks for opening this up. Personally I never encountered any issues with moving windows to their specified workspaces. Could you maybe narrow it down a bit more? Does it never work on your machine or just for your specific configuration? And if it's just for the configuration, could you maybe try to narrow it down?

I think it worked a while ago with an earlier version of lwsm, and possibly an earlier version of Ubuntu. I don't know what you mean by "specific configuration". Are you suggesting I try with a different set of windows? I could certainly do that!

mean by "specific configuration"

I mean the configuration you are trying to restore. Does it work with just two random apps for example?

I tried on another computer that has a mostly identical setup (same version of Ubuntu, same user settings). (I'm sorry, it takes several minutes to restore my windows manually to the correct virtual desktops, so I don't really want to do this too often on my main computer!)

I saved a configuration that had Firefox windows (from the same profile!) on two desktops. I then logged out and logged back in, and restored the session.

It correctly restored the windows to the same desktops on which they were originally located. However, it also opened the same number of blank windows.

By blank windows, do you mean firefox windows?

Sorry, yes: blank Firefox windows.

Might be that the app doesn't restore the windows properly because the restarting applications step is not completed properly, which might be caused by firefox messing around.

I gladly accept any PR dealing with this, but I currently don't have any time to investigate the issue myself. I'm pretty swamped with stuff popping up for Super Productivity.
