New issue 32591 by cybrmatt: incognito breaks tab persistence
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=32591

Chrome Version       : 4.0.295.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open several tabs in your primary Chrome session
2. Enable "reopen the pages that were open last" under startup options
3. Close Chrome
4. Reopen Chrome; previous tabs are reopened
5. Open an incognito window
6. Close primary chrome window
7. Close incognito window
8. Launch Chrome

What is the expected result?
Chrome should open with the tabs present in the non-incognito window.

What happens instead?
Chrome opens with a single home page tab.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

It's clear that Chrome restores the state of the last window closed in all
cases.  This makes sense with standard windows, but is illogical behavior
when the last window open is incognito.  Incognito sessions are by their
very nature stateless, and therefore will never result in a saved session.
The user may inadvertently lose their session state by leaving an incognito
window open in the background.  Instead, Chrome should save the tabs in the
last open stateful (normal) window in all cases, and disregard incognito
windows entirely in terms of this feature.
