 just wanted to notify that one of the "additional ideas" is asking
 support for multiple sessions, while one of Emanuel's
 "conclusions" (first bulleted list, third item) says that this is now
 possible but should actually not be, as it could be an error-source.
 I am for/pro multi-session, IF it is completely reliable, works without
hassle (including user-handling) and doesn't complicate
implementation too much. That might be possible. Eventually.

The current behavior, to me, feels strange and unexpected, though:
Opening a running session (twice) opens another set of windows.
What's that ? Do I have a "doubled" session now ?
It is very opaque, unclear, which window belongs to which session.
Is that how it should be, is that what we'd want ?

I'm adding a new section to the wiki page, "(Multi-) Session Handling".
