XFCE Session: run (e.g. SSH) commands in Terminal on startup?

I have a saved "Default" session, which restores a bunch of terminal windows/tabs on startup, to their appropriate workspace. I'd like to know how I can run commands in particular terminals at this time, so that, for example, I can automatically SSH into remote servers.

I've seen a few questions about scripting this in general, but not as part of Session.

I'm pretty sure this isn't possible. It can restore the terminal but not the script/session running inside of it. I'm not sure that would be a good idea either, from a security point of view.

You can always write a shell script to create the windows and execute the commands - placing the terminals in the correct locations.

i run screen on the remote and make new connections running a screen command to access the session i had there under any user i login there (sometimes i do many, such as cloud instances).
