I am not sure that will make it any clearer. As you might know; the longer the
text, the less people actually read it.
Besides; the sentence fails to explain what will happen when you uncheck the
checkbox. The last _saved_ session will be started then at next run.
IMO the dialog is clear about what it does; the concepts it represents OTOH are
not clear to most users. You cant explain that in an option like this.
Bottom line; don't change the text. Provide a way from this dialog to gain more
information on the concept of saving sessions.
Maybe that should be combined with a good session manager dialog that allows for
multiple sessions to be named/saved.
