Thanks for that, I'll see what google can tell me about gnome-sessions.

Unfortunately the problem is generally that I shutdown while it's
recording. However I have set my computer to wake itself up for
recording when I'm not around (from a complete switch off).I believe
current kernels no longer use /proc/acpi, or at least it stopped working
for me somewhere between ubuntu 7.10 and 9.04. I now have to use
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm. I found out how to use it from [1].
Thanks,
