That did it.

I'm guessing (too late in the evening for me to investigate) that what
happened is that I don't enable save window positions on exit, and
single/multiple window mode is treated as "window position", so that
setting never got saved.

(I start my window manager from a fixed session too.  However, there
are some exceptions; I build up so much state in my browser and emacs
that I really do need session saving, and I wish the xterm/bash
combination could do the same thing.  But I tend to use GIMP as a
one-off, so preserving state isn't very useful to me.)
