I really like GNOME functionnalities that allow me to begin again where i left before :

When you load a PDF file in Evince, start the reading, close Evince and reload the PDF file, the document shows the page where you stopped the reading and not the begining.

Tomboy replace the cursor where it was (i.e at the end of the page)

GNOME has a session manager that allow to restart your session with the same windows opened than before

But Totem, like Dory in Finding Nemo, doesn't remember what it was doing before ! Load a movie, watch one hour. Close Totem. Reload the movie in Totem and you will restart from the begining... too bad!
