Session saver

Yes, I found the firefox-bin under /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox-bin
and symlinked to
it under my Autostart directory.

The problem was that if I just symlinked to firefox & thunderbird,
everything opens on
the same virtual desktop.. and the reason why I loved XFCE's session
management
was precisely because it could open apps on the different desktops as
specified :)

I understand.. but the session manager already seemed broken when it
wouldn't save
the session (i.e. it didn't open opera on startup even though I kept it
open and logout whilst
saving the session) so, for now, I'll be "forced" to use this little
"hack" until I find out what actually
happened with the whole session-management thing :)
