For now you can use forced fallback mode. That will be dropped
eventually (probably for Fedora 19), but there is talk of a gnome-shell
extension to provide something similar. Alternatively should could
switch to another desktop.

I believe you can turn that off in the start up applications configuration.

I am pretty sure I have seen a setting to save which applications were
running when you logout and restart them at the next login. I am not
sure where exactly it is.
On XFCE, it's the "Automatically save session on logout" option on the
"General" tab in the "Start->Settings->Session and Startup"
menu.
There used to be something like it on Gnome2, but since I absolutely
refuse to use the horribly mangled and bodged Gnome3 environment (what
the hell were they thinking?), I have no idea where it would be if it
still exists.
