Firefox 3 seems to work fine for me, though perhaps it's just the "come
back with the tabs you were closed with" thing in action. It doesn't
save the passwords I'd used for HTTP authentication, but I'm not sure it
should.

Gvim also works fine, albeit when I log out it pauses that process to
ask me if I'd like to save files, and if I don't, they come back in
their on-disk, not in-memory, state. That may well be my own doing,
though: I specifically forbid vim from writing swap files of any kind
to avoid accidently writing unencrypted information to disk when I'm
editing a .asc file.
