Description MMacD 2017-04-03 11:22:44 UTC
The current package (according to pkg upgrade), installed under 10.3 RELEASE, ignores my attempts to change the session terminal windows that are saved.  I can't turn save off, close the windows before exiting and have no windows open on restart, or add windows.  I get exactly the same pattern of terminal windows that was first saved regardless of any changes I try to make.  I'm sure there's a list somewhere telling it what to open on startup, but I've not been able to find it.

OK I'm not MAINTAINER for this port. But the setting that you are after
is: Settings Manager -> Session and Startup -> Session

simply "tick', or "untick" anything you Want, or Don't want to
appear automatically, at session startup.

Been there, tried that. I cleared out the windows and ticked "save", rebooted, again got the set of unwanted windows.  Cleared out the windows, unticked "save", rebooted, got the set of unwanted windows.  It's pretty clearly ignoring that bit.

Okay, the save bit is now being honored, but I don't know why.  I switched to Win7 (it's dual boot) to do some work, and then when I rebooted fBSD, the bit was being honored.  It makes no sense that simply loading and running Win7 would make a difference, but that's the only thing I did that was different.
