That's not correct; Tracker does it for every folder, not only BFS
folders - the problem is that Tracker mounts all volumes on startup and
only the boot device is present (which happens to be a BFS disk) when
this mechanism starts; that's a bit unfortunate, but if someone has a
clean idea on how to solve this... :-)

Something like this would be possible to do; like the
deskbar_item_enabled attribute, something that says: this application
wants to be restarted in case it was running on shutdown.
But session management should really be application specific and easily
to go around (since at least I wouldn't want to have this feature
everywhere and everytime).
Adios...
