I wonder whether you might have been recovering your sessions because of
#745676, not after an explicit selection under settings/system. If you once
saved your session, does enabling "show session selector on init" make the
old session appear in the selection box (probably as default) at sesion init
or was it completely lost?

On the other hand, I have tried with enabling either "Automatically save
session on logout" or "Ask on exit" (both under settings/sessions), and
I recover my old session after logging out and in. Session saving seems to
work as expected here if enabled. Even better than with #745676, where some
things in autostart were started twice.

The only problem I noticed is that when using "Ask on exit" a selection box
appears only when exit is caused by "session exit" button, not when is the
shutdown one what is used.

PS: I am on-the-fly translating from spanish some option names. Thay might
be slightly different from what I wrote.
