Description:
One of the features that users often miss when moving from X11 to Wayland is the ability to save and restore the position of windows between sessions. At GUADEC2026 , held in
ACorua, Spain, Adrian Vovk provided an overview of work that has gone
into providing a platform-wide save and restore framework for GNOME. After two failed attempts at landing an API, he believes that the third try will be the one to succeedthough not in time for the upcoming GNOME51 release
due in October.
