session management Ubuntu Dapper

• use gnome-session-save
• devilspie

eg for firefox the config looks like this:
~/.devilspie/firefox.ds

(if
 (matches (window_name) "Firefox")
 (begin
       (set_workspace 2)
   (maximize)
 )
)

I then only need add devilspie as a start up program using the sessions
dialog.

Despite that, if you want to try the upstream style logout stuff, you can do
so by changing an Ubuntu-local gconf key:

  /apps/panel/global/upstream_session = true
