Do you mean that if you put a different background, or move
the "taskbar" to the top, or sth like that it gets lost if you log out?
I believe that is the way it works, although not all aspects are
necessarily saved or forgotten that way. Sometimes it is just for
opened windows (they get restored when you log back in if they were
open on logout), etc.
I just reconfigured my "task bar panel" to be at the top of the screen,
and logged out. When I logged back in, it was at the top. AIUI, the only
windows which get saved are the ones with GNOME apps in them. IOW, if
I have a terminal window with a current directory somewhere, and am
using my editor (I don't use the GNOME editor) in that window, then
nothing gets saved or restored. I have tried that before, IIRC, and
it didn't either restart the terminal window, nor the current directory,
nor my edit session.
IOW, it saves info for GNOME aware apps with special hooks, as I said.
I don't reconfigure anyway.
Then you probably don't need it.
If what you are trying to restore is stuff like where your panel is,
and so on, then you probably don't need it, either.
I have really a single-user system, and I rarely log off anyway.
When I have a power failure which lasts longer than my UPS can
keep things up, then I shut down.
