I find this discussion about Konsole interesting. When I log out of my desktop session and back in, each of my Konsole windows, and all of their tabs, are restored just as they were when I logged out. Perhaps my use of the Terminal Sessions applet provides this feature? I also use Konsole's bookmark feature to provide convenient access to selected locations in the filesystem tree.
