IIUC, you want to make sure that Vim will restart with "the same windows as when it
last closed", right? For that purpose I would recommend the following:
a) to have Vim save the session at shutdown:
autocmd VimLeave *
\ if exists('v:dying')&& v:dying< 2 | mksession! | endif
I _think_ this will even run at interruptible crashes (e.g., after an illegal opcode or a
memory protect violation, but not if the operator forces an uninterruptible hard crash).
It may or may not run at an AC power failure, depending on whether your computer can run
a few seconds after the AC fails, and on how long the OS will leave Vim for its
"emergency closedown".
I suppose that the only danger with this is in case I have more than one
instance of vim running from the same directory? Is there any way to check
whether or not the instance of vim that I'm running is actually using the
Session.vim file? I suppose it's possible that two instances can use the same
session file, but that's less likely.
Thank you very much!

See ":help v:this_session" (which applies to sessions loaded by the -S
switch but not to the sessions saved transparently by the Gnome versions
of gvim).
Best regards,
Tony.
