Description

In the session preferences, I have checked the box to save and restore session state. After reboot, the Thunar windows are not restored.

With "dmesg" we can see that Thunar has crashed during the reboot. Looking in "~/.cache/sessions", it seems that the file containing the URIs has not been created (file whose name starts with "Thunar"). It is likely the cause of the crash during reboot. So, there is probably a bug when Thunar tries to save the state of its windows.

I have encountered this issue with version 1.8.x on Manjaro. The issue didn’t exist with versions prior to 1.8.x. And it doesn’t exist on Xubuntu which still uses version 1.6.15.

Version: 1.8.2
