[Bug 43330] Epiphany is not session-managed anymore

[Bernat Tallaferro]

Public bug reported:

Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Using epiphany-browser 2.14.1-0ubuntu2, Epiphany seems to have lost the
ability to keep data between sessions.

Basically, I used to be able to open a few tabs in Epiphany, leave
Epiphany running, restart my system and automatically recover the
previous state when logging in to the next session. Note: with
"Automatically save changes to session" checked in System > Preferences
> Sessions.

This functionality seems to have disappeared in the last versions of
Dapper.

Steps to reproduce:

1.- Start Epiphany.

2.- Optionally open a couple of tabs.

3.- Go to System > Preferences > Sessions and check that epiphany-
browser appears on the list of currently running programs on the
"Current Session" tab.

4.- Logout or restart. If "Automatically save changes to session" was
not checked, choose to save the session when prompted before logout.

5.- When logging back in, epiphany is not restarted as expected. The
previous state (open URLS, tabs...) is lost.
