There was a problem hiding this comment.
Let's leave this search-entry restore behavior out for now, and focus on the existing behaviors. Making this PR simple as possible.

Looks like this won't be happening for GNOME 50 😅 |

GTK is now able to handle saving/restoring sessions. It automatically handles restoring window size/fullscreen/maximized state. On Wayland, it integrates with the (currently experimental) session management protocol to restore the window position, which is probably the biggest motivator for this, although this is currently not ready when running under Flatpak? GTK does auto saves every 15s and on app closing.

API is not yet stable, so let's wait til GNOME 50
