Subject:    "Save session for future logins" is misleading

Enabling the "Save session for future logins" option (i.e. saveSession=true in 
ksmserverrc) causes the current session to be restored the next time the user 
logs in, which is the expected behaviour. Leaving it checked causes the same 
thing to happen to subsequent sessions, which is also the expected behaviour.

But there's a potential point for confusion here because unchecking it still 
causes the session to be restored at next login, just not the current one. As 
long as the [Session] group is present in ksmserverrc, that session (the last 
one before saveSession was unchecked) is restored whether saveSession is true 
or not.

Wouldn't it be less confusing to not restore the session whenever 
saveSession=false? Or break it up into 2 options like "Restore session at 
next login" and "Save this session"?
