@Aaron
Ok let's discuss this solution as you say.
Here we have a publicized feature (launch saved session in system settings
panel) that simply doesn't work, because there isn't a no-terminal way to save
the session. Stop. For me that's simply a bug: that panel claims that you're
able to do something that actually you're not. No more, no less. In my opinion
you have two ways that you could use to solve this bug. The first one is by
adding an easy way to save the session. Is this too much complicated and time
expensive? There are other priorities? OK. No problem, I don't want to meddle
into the order of your priorities.  Then solution number 2. You remove that
panel from system settings in the next bugfix release, solving the bug, and
*then and only then* you mark this as a whishlist. In that case it would be a
correct definition. The feature is not present and there are some users that
want that feature. It's very easy.
Marking this thread *now* as a wishlist, seems to me, simply irrespectful of
the time we spend in reporting here what doesn't work.
When I say that developers should not be the ones who decide if a problem is a
bug or a whishlist, I don't mean to set their priorities. I just mean that the
definition is clearly inside the problem itself: something that doesn't work is
a bug, something that is not present is a wishlist. And not recognizing this
seems to me just a way to underestimate the total number of bugs of the system.
