I think that's an indication of the corporate (re: big business)
interests/pressure on the Gnome project. For large companies, letting
people save their session when they log out would add a butt load to
technical support. People that don't understand the option might check
it off, and then wonder why all sorts of apps "magically" open on when
they log back in.
I'm not knocking Gnome since I really like it, and it's what I deploy
for my clients. But, instead of getting rid of the save session option
completely, it would be much better if the option could be turned on/off
by an admin.*
Completely removing it is horrible.
