Ordinarily, the desktop saves session information when you
log out and uses that information to start your next session. If
you start or stop applications during your session, or use Style
Manager to change the appearance and behavior of your system, changes
you make are reflected in your next session. This type of session
is called a current session.
The desktop also provides a home session.
A home session is a session that you explicitly save. It's like
taking a snapshot of your current session at some point in time.
Once you've saved a home session, you can specify that logging in
always restores that session instead of the current session.
