If there was more than one Viewer when GWorkspace was closed, after the
restart it will show only one Viewer. When the Viewers had different
configuration of their Shelf after the restart only the Shelf of one of
the Viewers will be preserved.
On NeXTstep I didn't have the need of tabbed shelf because I was keeping one
Viewer for each of my tasks. One of them was maximized and the others
miniaturized. Each of them had different items on its Shelf. However
GWorkspace doesn't allow me to use it the same way.

GWorkspace remembers all the open viewers that are not rooted on the same
directory; the only exception exists if two viewers are on the same directory
but one of them is in spatial mode and the other in browsing mode.
Anyway, you should consider that, even if GWorkspace looks like the NeXTstep
file viewer, it is not a clone.
This for various reasons, but the first of them comes from the fact that its
author has never used (or seen) NeXTstep :-)
I have been a Mac user from 1986 and, when I started to write my app, only the
idea of two viewer windows showing the same directory seemed to me simply an
aberration!
In the time I've learned to like the *step interface and I've tried to keep the
GWorkspace behaviour as close as possible to the users expectatives but my background
remains and, probably, it is present in the GWorkspace "feel".
