Mostly, the tools I use have no concept of saving a session, hence
I don't save any at all. I mostly use the CLI, my GUI mailer, and
my GUI web browser. All real work gets done with the CLI. The
mail client I simply leave running 24/7, and the web browser I
use the history when I need it. When I use the browser to attach
to my router or DSL modem, I simply use the entries I have in
my /etc/hosts file.

So, normally I boot, I log in, and I just run 24/7. I don't log
out except to reboot about once a month, to do a full backup.
I have no need for sessions. I do use workspaces. I have one
for my mailer, one for browser windows, one for temp work CLI,
and one for my day to day work CLI. The temp work CLI has a
copy of GIMPS running in it, and on demand I create a CLI
window, do a little work/maintenance, and close it.

Perhaps that answers your question.
