Automatic session saving works for most gnome applications and gedit is a very good positive example. But it shouldn't be forced on the application to support automatic session saving or at least a fallback should be provided, if unsupported apps are to be closed on logout/shutdown from gnome. Currently there appears a dialog box saying "session saving unsupported by app1, app2, ...." with only one button - "close". This continues the logout process and the user has no chance to cancel the shutdown and save his data by himself. I've recently seen this problem with a java application: JabRef, a bibtex manager, running minimized on another virtual desktop, which I forgot to close manualy and lost some entries.
