In OSX there is this restart and resume feature, that makes every window of every application (that supports this feature) resume after a system reboot, even unsaved new documents, mails, images etc.

I wonder, if and how it is possible to imitate this feature on an Ubuntu system. There is tuxonice but I am not quite sure if that actually does what I want.

To clarify, I am not talking about hibernating or suspend to disk. After a true reboot and even after hard resetting the machine everything is back as before. I use it with TextEdit to hold notes a lot, but also with unfinished emails in Mail. It would be really cool to have this on Ubuntu as well.

Any ideas?

This worked for me when connecting remotely to a machine and logging in/out. Will test in a few hours at home with a full reboot, will edit with my findings

I also found this which seems to do exactly the same.

I have never thought about this feature before and glad you brought it up!

EDIT
I run Gnome 3 and wasn't able to find the setting as mentioned in the first article
The second article also didn't work for me

EDIT 2
Neither article worked for me in Ubuntu 14.04 using Unity or Gnome 3
