<possible addition>
After you have started a new session, you can easily switch back to the first 
session by using the keycombination CTRL-ALT-F7. You will see the session 
exactly as you left it. To switch back to the second session use CTRL-ALF-F8. 
The 7 and 8 correspondents with the vt7 and vt8 parameters in the list above. 
So by now you know how to handle the third and fourth session...
