Bug#259718: gnome-session: Logout window's session saving text should be more clear.

Package: gnome-session
Version: 2.6.2-3
Severity: wishlist

When a user goes to logout, they are presented with an option for saving
their current session.

However, that the option controls the saving of their current session is not
very clear.

Currently the text reads:

"Save current setup"

This is very ambiguous. Someone's setup includes their applet configuration
and their current wallpaper - neither controlled by this option.

Instead, the text should read:

"Remember currently running applications?"
