Rudd-O, as i replied earlier in this thread, I've been so frustrated by this that I've already ditched gnome and moved to xfce. It gives me my gnome 2 look and feel and behavior, including flawless session saving.
Also, future releases of gnome are going to severely curtail the functionality of nautilus, all on the excuse of being more "user friendly". I am truly saddened at the things that have happened to gnome since gnome 2. Tablet UIs are all very well, but they don't make sense for a desktop which is used for much more (by some people at least) than browsing the internet and consuming media like music and videos. As a programmer/power user/kernel, i find unity/gnome 3 completely unusable as a desktop environment. Speaking for myself, at least, as far as gnome 3/unity is concerned, I'm afraid that it's a case of "so long and thanks for all the fish / so sad that it should come to this"...
