Hi Xavi,

Shotwell 0.11 uses GSettings to store its preferences. There's several
different storage backends for GSettings, so it depends what you have
installed.

It's likely that in your case GSettings is using the "memory" backend, which
means nothing is ever written to disk. This would explain why it's not
remembering anything between sessions.
