I, too, would like to know how to save multiple open terminals as part
of a saved session. Since Mike's request is two months old and there
have been no responses, should we accept that it cannot be done?

I, typically, run the default setup of four desktops. I usually have
two xterms open on each of three of those desktops. When I exit Gnome,
and return, only one or two of those six terminals open. It's only a
minor irritation. It doesn't take long to reopen the other four, but
why doesn't gnome-session-save work for the terminals? I don't mind
manually editing configuration files, if I knew the syntax to use.
I haven't mentioned which Gnome release I have, because I'm in KDE,
and this has always been the case as far back as I can remember.

There's much to like about Gnome, but I usually put all six xterms to
work when I'm in X. It's more often KDE because of this.

It would be greatly appresiated if someone would let Mike and me in on
the secret.

Thanks for any help,
