  something is set to do that then, because i can set all of
my workspaces with different applications open in each of them.

  do you have "Always on Visible Workspace" set instead of
"Only on this Workspace"?  [right click on window or on item
at the bottom of the screen...]

  i never shutdown without checking all desktops for things that
need to be saved.  but more importantly remember that if you
don't use shutdown after the first time it will restart them all
as you had them when you did shutdown.

  my normal end of session routine is to use the "shutdown -h now"
command as root which kills everything and does not alter what is 
opened next time.

  when i want to make changes to my desktops then i do use
the menu shutdown and that then records the changes as 
desired.
