Applications can only save there config files by themselves, a 
sessionmanager cant do that ever. All, a sessionmanager can do, is to 
ask a application to save it now. If implemented in the application, it 
will do so. As well the sessionmanager could give a path to save to, but 
the same rule apply as before.
