I use Red Hat Linux 9, which includes GNOME 2.2.0. Workrave session management doesn't work for me (it isn't restarted on the next login).

I, too, have not yet seen gnome session management work. I've always attributed that to the fact that I'm using a debug version, but still...

Are you using the native gnome workrave applet? Did you compile workrave with --enable-gnome? Could you please run "gnome-session-save" ans post the output of "grep -i workrave ~/.gnome2/session".

Kees-Jan send me this via icq: kees-jan$ grep -i workrave ~/.gnome2/session 4,Program=workrave 4,CloneCommand=src/workrave/src/workrave --sm-config-prefix /workrave-ddd5ku/ --display :0.0 4,RestartCommand=src/workrave/src/workrave --sm-config-prefix /workrave-ddd5ku/ --sm-client-id 11c0a8007f000104999128600000004020003 --screen 0 --display :0.0 If "src/workrave/src/workrave" cannot be found in your path, workrave is not started by the session manager. Workrave now stores the full pathname to the workrave binary in the session. I Hopefully this fixes the problem.

Uh... Gnome session managemend worked for me immediately after executing gnome-session-save. I now attribute my earlier problem to the fact that I never saved my session :) Adding absolute paths shouldn't make much of a difference, since the location from where the command should be executed (in this case my home directory) is also saved by gnome-session-save. Hence, I don't expect to see any difference :-) Maybe we should check with Stefan, if he still has problems.

Ugh. Yes. indeed. Reverted hack. Stefan, please let us know if gnome-save-session also worked for you.
