As your editor is not xsession-aware you have to wrap it some shell script, that just saves the state of x2 in the form of commandline invocation in a file when it's close due to TDE shutdown. So there is no invocation of X2 when no X2 was open when TDE closed the session. At TDE login you execute that file with invocations and be happy. Sure, you have to manage some stuff like which desktop to put it, window placement etc. but that's not that complicated.
