It would be even cooler if there was something in the save session dialog to 
indicate this. How are people supposed to guess, other than by accident? And 
how do you go about not restoring a session at all?

"No" only applies if you already know all about how it works. The way it is is 
confusing to the uninitiated. It certainly comes as a surprise to me to learn 
that unchecking "save session" results in ANY session being restored next 
time. (I normally save my session, so I hadn't discovered this yet.)
