it's just an ascii file, you can edit it manually, although that's obviously not a newbie kind of thing to do at all :)

Do note that it's a session file, for the GNOME session, so all GNOME aware apps will have their status saved. This file is written upon exiting from the gnome-session, either automatically, or if you click the "save mys session" button in the log off dialog. (depending on your config, default is to offer the option) If you typically have a lot of apps open, and want to return to them when you log back in, it can take a few seconds for GNOME to save the data and close. I usually turn it off, and don't save session, but sometimes I find it useful. You can also save a session manually at any time, either through the CLI, or via the app itself. You can save multiple sessions, and chose among them upon logging in, although I haven't done this. I just read about it in the context sensitive (but lacking a search function) help system :)
