A best-effort session recreation would be great.  Not sure how this would work with Fusion PHP sessions; don't they try to use the same sessionID as the Mg session?

Note that network problems between the web tier and the server, or inactivity on the client side, are not the only reasons for a client disconnect.  If the server goes down, this also happens.  With this in mind, it would be useful if there was the ability to have something like "Could not connect to server, click here to reload your session.  If this problem persists, please contact the City of Nanaimo Help Desk at 250-555-5555"

I thought I saw some code go into Fusion trunk to allow the user to specify a certain amount of map state when loading a layout, so we might be able to do a little better than a full browser refresh. I was thinking more along the lines of re-creating any session-resident resources and preserving as much state information as is available (and applicable) within the client.

I can't claim to have given this any in-depth analysis, however.
