Why does killing X should case data loss ? And if cntrl Alt Bkspace is to restart X then is there an option to restore my previous X session ? I guess I am being naive.

All data that is not recoverable by the applications that went down with the X server, is lost.

Thanks, makes sense. The feature FF has is neat, I never have to worry about loosing my FF tabs when shutting down/reboot etc. It would be good if more apps behaved that way.

Except that if FF crashes while recovering after a crash (due to some strange Javascript in one of the
tabs), it sometimes corrupts the tabs and isn't able to recover again :(
This has happened to me twice. Seems like the browser could save the tab list to a separate
(1) except this won't work on ext4 or ext3 in writeback mode as seen in recent dicussions
