I don't think gen_seed is saved in the .tpr, but you can see with     gmxdump.

At a different temperature it generates different velocities anyway,     so I 
don't think there is value in controlling this variable.

More importantly, if you're simulating long enough to approach     convergence, 
the value of gen_seed doesn't matter because the     simulation has converged. 
If you're not simulating that long, then     it also doesn't matter, in that 
your results won't be worth much     even if you used the same gen_seed at the 
same temperature...
