Both gdm and kdm "should" save app states....

I tried this on a second desktop system (aptitude run of update
followed by safe-upgrade) and it did not cause X to restart.

I wonder if my previous problem was triggered by the
time of day as it was just around midnight.

I noticed this in the aptitude output:

Setting up gdm3 (2.30.5-6squeeze3) ...
Scheduling reload of GNOME Display Manager configuration: gdm3.

I don't know how it does that, but perhaps it happened right away
and triggered a restart of X?

Anyway, I guess I've proved to myself that the problem wasn't
as generic as I had believed from the first experience.
