I think your patch is in very good shape now.  RMS already commented
on a few things, but other than that, there are only minor things I would
like to suggest you change:

1) Maybe you should use [.]emacs-session.%s for the save file name
   rather than just [.]emacs.%s

2) The first line of the doc-string for emacs-session-save could be a little
more generic, as the functionality is explained in the text, i.e. change:

   "Run the `emacs-save-session-functions' when window system is closing.

into something like

   "This function is called when the window system wants emacs to terminate.
If this function returns non-nil, the window system shutdown is cancelled.

That is ok.  Other parts of emacs "core" already calls lisp level
functions in the same way.
