Yes, that dialog does have an "Automatically save changes to session"
option to save the session _every_time_ you logout, but the online
help for that option clearly states, "If you do not select this
option, when you end your session the Logout Confirmation dialog
displays a Save current setup option."  That option in the logout
confirmation dialog never appears.

Anyway, auto-save-session seems to be broken right now.  When you
turn that option _off_ again, a couple of extraneous entries get
saved.  Next time you log in, you'll get a extra Nautilus window
and the sessions options dialog will start up too.
