Uh-uh.... It has an option to _exclude_ an application from session
management, but there is no way to tell it I want to _start_ a specific
application. I could just add it to the auto-start menu, but I don't
_always_ want it to start.

Ah. That isn't remotely explained in the associated help. There's an
implication that the Save Session option should always be there. It doesn't
seem helpful - you don't appear to be able to tell it _which_ saved session
to restore. Isn't this behavior exactly what you would get with:
On Login Restore Session: yes/no
On Logout Save Session: yes/no
except that you would have to logout to effect the "Save Session"?
