Maybe you can tell gnome, the ubuntu default desktop, that you want an
instance of gvim to be started on a given desktop when you log in.

I would imagine your window manager should let you specify that you want
gvim to start maximized and save you the effort.

You could take a look at :mksession

For example project1 -> :mksession ~/.vim/sessions/p1.vim, project ->
:mksession ~/.sessions/p2.vim.. etc. and,

:so ~/.vim sessions/p1.vim
:so ~/.vim sessions/p2.vim
...

..depending on which project you are going to work on.

Naturally, you could map function keys or other keyboard actions to
bring up each session.

Or just one session, with one or several tabs corresponding to each
project.

I don't use NERDTree, so I can't promise it plays well with vim
sessions.
