Session manager questions

[rms39 columbia edu (Russell Steinthal)]

First, let me thank the GNOME developers- it's turning out great.  
And I'm working my way through the GTK+ tutorial at the moment, so 
hopefully I'll be able to contribute soon.  (Not on the real point of 
this message, but has anyone done any substantial GNOME work using 
gtk--?  I prefer C++ to C, but that may just be from the fact that my 
last few projects have been in C++/Java, so it looks more natural to 
me at this point.)

I have some questions about the session manager, however, which is 
the real point of this message.

First: Currently, the session manager correctly restores certain (I 
presume session-aware) applications which were open when I logged out 
of GNOME, the next time I log in.  (Gnome Terminal, Netscape, seem to 
work).  Whenever they're restored, however, they're restored as 
windows, even if I had them iconified before I logged out.  Is that 
the correct behavior, or a bug?  (If it's correct, consider this a 
request for adding it, or at least clarifying the documentation when 
it's written.)

Second: Am I correct in assuming that applications added to the 
Session Manager properties dialog are supposed to be started up when 
the session manager starts?  If so, that doesn't appear to be working 
for me.  (I filed this as a bug with bugs.gnome.org yesterday, but 
wasn't sure if I was understanding the functionality correctly).

Thanks for any info, and keep up the good work!

-Russell
