I have installed gnome session save and restore per http://blog.thewebsitepeople.org/2013/07/gnome-session-save-and-restore/. I am running the MATE Desktop on CentOS 7 but the app above does not seem to save and restore the positions and sizes of directory listing windows, nor does it save the order of the windows on the taskbar at the bottom.
Does anyone have a better solution?

Not sure GNOME settings are relevant with Mate ...
With Mate, you should be able to do:
gsettings set org.mate.session auto-save-session true

Thank you! What would the corresponding restore session commands be?

The above command saves the Mate desktop when you logout so you get back to where your were when you log back in - i.e. it restores your session on login
Setting it to 'false' turns this off

Ah, then it's equivalent to the save session setting in Mate? Unfortunately that does not save and restore the session exactly. It does not save the state of file manager windows, nor does it save the windows in the same order in the bar at the bottom...
Surely this is possible - even OS/2 which I ran a long time ago could do that...
