Even Microsoft Word provided autorecovery. I have the same need, and
want recovery for gedit and tomboy-notes.
I've been really dissapointed with Linux recovery from hibernate not
working. Didn't it used to work years ago? And how do I get my laptop to
shutdown when it is overheating (when shutdown fails but I've already
stowed the laptop. This has happened twice).
