only if you only do this by looking at what's running at the time you
shutdown.

If something is started from the KDE menu, then you can track that you
started it and the user hasn't exited it. restart those apps.

But if you are actually trying to restart all apps, then you are failing
miserably. I routinely have many apps running in terminal windows that
don't get restarted, as well as a few GUI apps (almost none KDE/Gnome
apps) that don't get restarted. Other apps that get restarted are
missing the context (what files they had open, etc) my terminal windows
get started, but beyond them and the browsers, not a lot more (and
currently all the terminal windws get shoved onto the first screen.

>> Thomas, if you start lots of sessions without anyone logging out, you
quickly run out of system resources for all the running apps.

swap is horrible to use, and it's still easy to run out of swap. You
actually don't want to have tens of GB of swap because the system will
become unusable if it is used. I run my systems with very little swap (I
only have one machine with more than 2G of swap, even if the system has
hundreds of GB of RAM). I've actually had a machine with 128G of RAM
that only had 120G of disk. My VMs for work typically have 40G of disk
or so, even if they have 32+G of RAM

disk space may be cheap, but only if you don't need to add a drive for
it and aren't using expensive storage (price the per-GB cost of EMC
storage for example, especially if you include replication of the
storage)
