I my experience lash is more or less unusable. It reacts unforgiving if
something unpredictable happens in the session. Could be including an
app, that is not lash-aware or closing one of the apps, it recognizes so
for real work I am unable to use it.

Lash is a great idea but it suffers from the fact, that it depends on
capabilities, that must be properly implemented by the author of the
app, that it handles.

So, to save and reload a session with lash, that includes say:
Rosegarden, Ardour, AMS and Specimen, RG, Ardour, AMS and Specimen
*must* have lash-compatibility implemented properly.

Since lash is not very stable many developers fail to implement such
capabilities. It was the same with jackd 3-4 years ago: this has changed
completely so we can have hope that something similar will happen with lash.

I have made up some scripts to start sessions with multiple apps:he

http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/law0.4.tar.bz2

but these are quite clumsy comrades since they are static. You can only
use them as long as you work with project-files and patches, that keep
their names (if you load a new patch to Zynadd, the script will still
load the old one next time, you start it).
So this is no solution but maybe it can be a workaround for the time
being....

good luck
