Prevent restarting GNOME Shell from logging me out
up vote

Before upgrade to Ubuntu 18.10, Alt+F2 and then r would restart GNOME Shell but would not log out my user, which was nice as my applications would stay open.
After the upgrade, gnome-shell --replace and the r command cause me to be logged out, as if I had killed gnome-shell, or killall -u $USER.
Can I restore the previous behaviour where the DE was replaced seamlessly without closing my applications?
$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

gnome gnome-shell logout 18.10

Hmm, broken Gnome restart on Wayland is "normal" - blog.ubuntu.com/2018/01/26/… but on Xorg its not..

@pomsky but that has nothing to do with this, it's just xorg/wayland, and even unmodified mainline Ubuntu doesn't use wayland by default

@KuriboKutsu this is very interesting, that's how it was in 18.04 and on my MATE systems, just not my GNOME one

This has since been fixed, so that the previous behaviour of restarting in-place is restored.
