Where is this setting ?
System Settings--->Startup and Shutdown--->Desktop Session
See also the Leave button in the Kickoff widget, specifically the Save Session item which lets you save the current setup.
FWIW, poc is pretty much correct in that this feature has "deficiencies". And I forgot why I had not tried using it in the past. For some cases it may be OK.
I just found it more to my liking to establish window rules for my most used apps and then assign FN+FX keys to start them when I login to an "empty session".
As the OP implied, some of us like to start a session with a set of windows preloaded on specific desktops (and even in tabs in those windows). Can the FN+FX technique deal with this?
For a while I've been using a script from https://github.com/zepalmer/script-vdr with my own adaptations. It does require manually saving/restoring the browser setup, but mostly seemed to work on F30. Unfortunately it's written in Python 2 and I haven't got round to adapting it for Python 3 on F31.
