I've been just lurking here for a while, but this question jogged my memory about something that I've been thinking of for a while. The ability KDE has to save sessions is great, but I think that a natural and very useful way to extend the functionality already there would be to allow multiple sessions to be saved at the same time. Ie., you're deep into working on one project, and then move to another for a while. It would be nice to just be able to save the first session and then start another one clean, and be able to come back to the first session later. I don't think that just using a different desktop for each "project" is a viable answer for a few different reasons (which I can enumerate if someone wishes). Has anyone else ever suggested this functionality? I don't know the internals of KDE but I can't imagine there would be any great technical hurdles (though I don't know how much of the job of saving state is shared between KDE and the app -- the more is required of the app, the harder a transition to such a system might be I suppose).
