If you could show me how to make that actually work I'd be a remarkably
happy camper.
In the Good Old Days(tm), this would give you the chance to tick a
checkbox and Boom! you'd have the same session at next login. FC5 won't
offer the checkbox, and at next login you have a rather bullocksed
session. Mine opens with the save-session applet, an x-term, my home dir
open in a minimized Nautilus window, and Evolution covering half the
screen. None of which I asked for, mind you.
