Okay, tried out kate. I see it created the .kate-swp file when I
intentionally killed it, but it didn't prompt me to open it after
restarting.

It also appears to only create this recovery file if the document was
saved and given a name at some point. Sometimes it's just a
cut-and-paste buffer that I leave there until I can get back to it the
next day, but sometimes (especially within the last few months), the
computer doesn't come back from sleep or it just spontaneously crashes
with some kernel failure (not a hardware problem) so I'd like to not
have to be so concerned with saving these in some temporary file like
I do with vi.

Ideas on a configuration option or what I could be doing wrong that it
didn't prompt me to reload the doc?

Also, how can I replace gedit in the Applications pull-down on the
desktop with kate?
