Comment(by gdvieira):

 I understand. Unfortunately, I don't know how to support session support
 for multi displays desktops. Actually, I don't even know what's the user
 expectation about session save/restore in such systems.

 What I'm proposing is to revert Ticket #3137, and find another solution
 for the problem reported there. Ask the developer who proposed the patch,
 he should be motivated to find a more general solution.

 As a final plea for my case, see what Linus has to say on the subject:
 http://lwn.net/Articles/243460/

 "So we don't fix bugs by introducing new problems.  That way lies madness,
 and nobody ever knows if you actually make any real progress at all. Is it
 two steps forwards, one step back, or one step forward and two steps back?
 Different people will give different answers."
