The problem is that the data structures that would require persisting are not Python objects and, on top of that, mostly opaque to PyGTK. This would only be possible if GTK+ went miles out of its way to support easily persisting its data structures (GObjects and all), and even then, I'm don't know if it would be possible to use Python's pickle.
