[CentOS] Gnome Desktop Session Save?

I seem to recall that at one time with CentOS I had the ability to save my
gnome desktop and open applications, like terminal, when exiting.  The
effect was such that when I logged on to a new session those applications
would open automatically for me.  Is my memory faulty?  If not, then has
this facility been removed?   If neither my memory failed nor the facility
removed then how does one do this now in CentOS-5?

Regards,
