I remember that now. So is there any way to drop back to using GNOME
Classic as in Deb 7?
If not, are there any other reasonable, debian-packaged, desktop
environments that provide auto-saved terminals?
So sad, UI design following faddish, short-lived form over function,
just like the fashion industry: the emperor has no clothes!
Best regards,
