I think we're talking at cross purposes.  We don't save or restore  
state for other applications; we *should* save and restore our *own*  
state:  the same screen/workspace state preserved across Cmd-Q but  
without any windows, as it's the session manager's and restarted  
applications' jobs to recreate those.
