Yeah, sure! If the --session argument restores all Terminals in their
workspaces and at their locations, that'd be great. It's just important
that we don't get default behavior that isn't self-explanatory in some
situations. And the "just open another Terminal here" use-case seems to be
quite common. And in that sitation, the Terminals popping up at seemingly
random locations, depending on what numbering happens to be matched from a
previous instance, may be confusing. But --session makes it all clear, and
just happens to fit the use-case perfectly, where you just want to have all
Terminals restored.
Best regards,
