text editor with auto-save feature

Any recommendations for a Linux GUI text editor that will automatically 
save unnamed buffers?

In other words, you can do "File | New", type some text, have a system 
crash, reboot, and recover the typed text.

There are plenty of editors that will autosave a named buffer, but 
almost none that will also do it for an unnamed buffer. (I've used a 
couple of Windows-only editors that have this feature. You'd think crash 
recovery would be an expected standard feature on all GUI apps., but 
sadly it isn't.)
