 See the xsmp spec (gg:xsmp just in case you're about to ask).

 No, see in the spec.

 The relevant line is restartCommand, which is more or less the command 
ksmserver will use to restart the application. On session save this command 
is received from the application and it's up to the application to store its 
session data somewhere and encode in the restore command somehow information 
about how to find this data.
