Unfortunately I don't know all the ways in which the session manager
can fail.  But some of these problems sound like a failure of clients
to connect to the SM.  Can you run "save-session" and see if it prints
out any error messages?

What window manager are you using?  Is it session aware?  When you
save the session is it listed in ~/.gnome/session?
