Desktop restore for FC25/Cinammon ?
I've always used the XFCE desktop variant of Fedora, and that restores the desktop to the state it was in when I last logged out - i.e. all the various windows and applications are restarted.
I'm now playing with Cinnamon on FC25, and it does not appear to do that by default.
I cannot believe the system does not allow this. I've had a good look around in the various options and settings, but I'm clearly missing something somewhere. Can someone point me in the right direction please ?

Sorry, I seemed to have hit the "solved" button by error.
But a partial fix is with dconf editor set /org/cinnamon/cinnamon-session/auto-save-session to true.
It seems to autosave Firefox on the first desktop. Nothing else is saved. Reading other posts concerning cinnamon, the auto-save facility was removed because it was never 100% successful.
