I have to agree with Bernardo.  If I uncheck the "Save this session",
I don't want ANY session restored.  How can I easily remove any
sessions being saved?  Command-line?  KDE is a graphic enviroment,
and should be striving to graphically represent all options.  The
idea of saving and restoring multiple sessions is a good one as well.
 Could even merge them.  Such as, open Session A and Session B
(perhaps A being a development enviroment and B a seperate
CVS/compilation session.  Sometimes you want them seperate, sometimes
you want both.  Additionally, an option to close only certain open
sessions would be interesting as well.  I'm checking my mail, someone
points out a bug in some program I'm working on.  I open my
developement session along with whatever else I'm doing and fix the
bug, commit it to CVS, and close the session.  Very interesting idea,
i believe.
