I use FC2 on a desktop. I tried the "save session" and "restore session" and I basically got NOTHING back. Apparently "save session" is a way for those things which are GNOME aware and which use some special hooks to save some state. No? Anyway, I run Mozilla, Thunderbird, Acrobat Reader, and terminal sessions. I run next to nothing else. Not any of this saves anything, AFAICS.
Not all apps will work, but most do. Firefox can be saved - I don't know about Adobe Acrobat.
Hmm. "Most" do. I rarely just run Acrobat. I pull it up, look at sth, and put it away. What I keep up all the time are Mozilla, Thundebird, and terminals.

So, it's not meant to save the state of your desktop. It's to help you get your desktop up and running without having to start up things manually.
Ok.
In any case, it's a login thing, and I log in less than once a month. To put it another way, I don't log out unless I have to shut down due to a power failure. I treat this machine as a single user machine. There are only three users who can log into my machine:
root me a friend of mine with no access (I did some consulting work and never removed the user name)
Nobody logs in but me, and I do it every time I boot exactly once.
Thanks for the reply.
