Because you are using Gnome ? and Gnome 3 even gets rid of the bits of it
they didn't manage to hose before.

I run XFCE, generally speaking all my apps re-appear almost immediately.
One or two don;'t seem to set proper session info but most get it right.


A useful experiment in your case might be to run XFCE and see if your
apps then come back when you restart - it'll tell you if its the apps or
the desktop are your root cause, and that tells you where to file the
relevant bugs.
