A very good point. What I should have said here is that neither the session manager nor (most) apps manage to preserve state across sessions. Firefox is a great example here and I actually depend quite a lot on its behaviour these days (keeping tabs open as todo items etc). Bringing this to other apps would be a win for everyone anyway, regardless of also improving the power on/off situation.
