gedit has quite a bit of code to properly save and restore the session,
including which files were open, where etc. It also properly handles
blocking the logout in case there is unsaved data. The cursor position
is saved too, but is not part of the gnome session: it is always
saved/restored every time a document is closed even within the same
session. Unfortunately sometimes we hit a bug (partly in GtkTextView)
that despite placing the cursor at the proper line it doesn't scroll the
view to the cursor.
