Thunar is unable to restore its windows after reboot

RESOLVED: MOVED

In the session preferences, I have checked the box to save and restore session state. After reboot, the Thunar windows are not restored.

With "dmesg" we can see that Thunar has crashed during the reboot. Looking in "~/.cache/sessions", it seems that the file containing the URIs has not been created (file whose name starts with "Thunar"). It is likely the cause of the crash during reboot. So, there is probably a bug when Thunar tries to save the state of its windows.

I have encountered this issue with version 1.8.x on Manjaro. The issue didn’t exist with versions prior to 1.8.x. And it doesn’t exist on Xubuntu which still uses version 1.6.15.

Looks like the same bug than Bug #14509

Yes. I didn’t see it, sorry.

It seems also that my diagnosis was wrong. As you explain, the Thunar file is created by Thunar when its first window is created and removed when Thunar is closed. But, for sure, something odd happens when logging out, as Thunar hangs for some time.
