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.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
