Session restore functionality does not restore apps from workspaces other than the first

[ToZ]

Session restore functionality, if using saved sessions and the session chooser prior to login, doesn't restore applications from workspaces other than the first workspace. Corresponding Xfce bug report is https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11173

Similar problem as per bug #6330. However, any applications in workspaces other than the first are not restored. Applications from the first workspace are restored properly.

Running Xfce from git on Arch - fully updated and recent.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

To provide some more clarity for this bug, it only happens if you use the Session Chooser. If not using session chooser, and just saving your session on logout and having it automatically restore on next login, it works fine including restoring apps to secondary workspaces.

As of the last xfce4-session update, 4.12.1, which only contains one bug fix, #11632, this issue is resolved. All apps are saved and restored properly to the correct workspaces.

Fixed in version xfce4-session 4.12.1 (Vivid).
