Is it about restoring window position and size?
- Yes
  
  Does it also restore the content of unsaved files of the application? If not, I'll prefer systemctl hibernate. I wonder, what this new feature is for. Gnome had it in the past, MacOS has it, but I don't see what the use case is.

Good but sad it's disabled by default for now.
- Gnome like to get things perfect before they make it default. It's what makes Gnome pretty stable, even if it does mean power users have to type in a command to expose the setting in the meantime.
  The wait can be frustrating though.
- I respect the gnome team for not wanting to create instability or confusion. KDE could learn a thing or two
  
  Well GNOME does create instability and confusion too.

Does it require to be enabled at compilation, or it can be toggled at any time?
