Hi Christian,

Thanks for the speedy response.  I'm sad to learn it is a bug.  From which
TODO were you quoting --- sawfish? some gnome library?

What does the phrase "swapped-out window properties" mean?  Do you
mean "the properties belonging to a window whose process is swapped
out by the os"?  This doesn't agree with my experience.  I just
started a new session, opened a gnome-terminal in each workspace, and
quickly saved the session from the "settings" menu.  I am supposing
that I managed to do so before the gnome-terminal process got swapped
out.  When I logged in again, all the terminals showed up on workspace
1 again.
