Well it seems that the feature has only temporarily disappeared. It seems that they want to get rid of the legacy XSMP IPC as much as possible and migrate over to something that supports the fdo-based autostart stuff and migrate over to using dbus IPC for this sort of thing (which is much more pleasant to work with).
Seems like a attempt to remove a few years of crust and decay and replace it with something that is easier to work with.

But, but, the 'legacy' XSMP is the only mechanism by which a significant
number of X applications can save their state. Drop that, and you leave those applications out in the cold.
This is really not the way X works. I'm disappointed to see GNOME

Obviously,gnome wishes to inconvenience any non-gnome program by removing working session management for all existing X apps and KDE apps, that use the default X session management protocol. Way to go! Great spirit of cooperation!
How about supporting existing methods until the new ones are implemented by all major programs?
