Preserving window's minimized state between sessions

[José Alburquerque <jaalburquerque cox net>]

Hi all.  I'm running a GNU/Linux (Debian) system with GNOME 2.14.3 (I 
just love the exquisite look, functionality and feel of the desktop 
BTW!  I find I can get everything done easily and efficiently.)
I have a short question:  When I log in, GNOME starts the windows which 
I did not close in the previous session.  My question is:  Does anyone 
know any way to have these windows "preserve" their minimized state so 
that when the new session starts they are minimized?  Sometimes the new 
windows sort of "clutter" my desktop and it'd be nice if I can start 
them minimized.  Really appreciate any help!  Thanks!
