I disagree, and I am always have been a gnome user.

There is a way of implementing a "manual" session save for gnome:

http://blogs.sun.com/mattman/entry/gnome_2_24_session_save1

It is working just fine for me, even with compiz. I just need to click
on a panel icon to send my terminals and applications to their appropriate
locations.

Note that this works only for gnome-terminal 2.24 (F10). gnome-terminal 2.18
(F8)
seems to not allow the changing of a terminal title.
