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.

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.
This is likely to be a duplicate of bug #5379 which is fixed in the git master branch. Please reopen if you can still reproduce.

"Unknown option -session=260eae897-c457-4816-9ab7-8f8a47fa7d85 Run 'soffice --help' to see a full list of available command line options." Each application is responsible for creating it's own restart command. The session manager runs these commands 1:1 on login. I have never seen xfsm storing a restart command improperly, and all xfce programs use ---sm-client-id, not -session. So chances are than LibreOffice creates a command it can't parse, for example -session instead of --session. This bug does not seem as duplicate of #5379 to me, but I think reporting it to the LibreOffice developers is more reasonable than re-opening it here.
