[Bug 35043] Re: session saving not enabled by default in Dapper

[Athurva Gore]

I like the current system as well (not saving session).  Sometimes, if something goes wrong with tinkering, you want a clean GNOME to start up in, and using the "failsafe" option and then finding and deleting your session is just a pain.

Also, most people expect that if they log out of their computer, it will not save what they have done.  "Switch User" is there for that.  Perhaps the log out dialog text could be modified based on if the user has elected to save their session or not?  Maybe the first time a user logs out, ask them their preference?
