Expected behavior: The terminal windows would both be restored.
Comment: Gnome session management suffered a disastrous and embarrassing regression in Intrepid. Let's not do that again...

For the terminal issue, I'm re-assigning this to gnome-terminal. gnome-terminal is responsible for writing it's own state file, so if it does not restore properly then that is unlikely to be a gnome-session issue. Could you please report issues for each application separately?
