I might have been doing, but occasionally I want to preserve the

and if I kill the application I get context preserved. (Linux)

Is there a secret "save context and shutdown" feature I can use within SM?

Also, is there a way to specify the starting position of windows rather
than use the window manager default?


Are you using SM2 beta? I had the same behaviour when I was using beta, but now that I'm using 2.0, I get asked if I want to save my tabs before closing. If I only have one tab open at the time and want to save it for next session, I just open a second blank tab, and then quit.

Using 2.0.1 where I see this most often. I generally want to just shut down and not save anything, so I probably checked so "don't ask" box for normal operation. But on the occasion where I want to save, I would hope that I have a way to do it manually, other than brute force killing the application. I was looking in the "File" menu for "save tabs and quit" but it doesn't seem to be there.

Ideally you want SM to do what you want by default and give you a way to do something else with a little extra work. Being able to disable asking about tab save is good, but I would hope there's a matching way to request saving for a special situation.
