Dear Mariano and GNOME developers!

For me save session functionality was very useful too.
I can't understand why it was broken/removed.
We have hibernate and suspend today, but they can't be the replacement for DE 
session restore. Hibernate is not safe for modern SSD, suspend eats battery and 
I can't "restore session" with it after for example two weeks on rarely used 
laptop. Also suspend is not an option for stadionary desktop workstation 
(without UPS or battery).

With my 11 year linux experience I think, that GNOME developers are doing wrong 
things.
The first wrong thing was GNOME 3 with its Shell, the second was simplification 
of Nautilus (back, forward, parent buttons,  extra pane), the third was 
gnome-terminal (removed tabs title).
If we talk about session restore it worked as expected only in GNOME 2.28 and 
2.32 and of course KDE 3.5. 
For now we have GNOME 3 with broken session save-restore functionality. For 
example in GNOME 3.4 as in Ubuntu 12.04 it does not work at all.

What users can do with it? We can switch to complicated KDE 4/5, or simple 
Xfce, MATE and Cinnamon.
But for example, MATE 1.18 is able to save and restore only gtk-based 
applications (so for example, Krusader is not restored).

I hope that GNOME developers can fix session restore problems soon and will not 
break/limit other things.

Good luck!
