Anyway, you could save your session manually by typing this into a terminal:
Since you seem to use it, and find it useful, I'll ask:
Just what is the point of saving sessions?
First, some background...
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.
So, since you use it, can you tell me what saving/restoring sessions does for you? AFAICT, it does nothing for me at all.
Maybe I'm just ignorant. I hope so.
For example, one thing I'd like to do is have my UPS signal "imminent loss of power" and shutdown in a manner which will allow me to resume what I was doing. Suspend to disc sounds perfect, except that my desktop seems not to support that.
