Sorry, not going to happen. In Munich last year we decided that _if_ we
introduce session support it should _only_ be visible when you actually
care about it. That means the last session will always be restored by
default, I might consider adding an option to disable that behaviour
though.

Also this welcome page is fine on first startup and for some users maybe
on each startup when we don't re-open files, but I personally need an
off switch for it :)

I'm not sure of the usefulness. If the user starts kdev the first time
there's nothing we have in the list, if he chooses to have the page
available on each start, we'd have to re-open projects in the background
and until thats done the list is also empty.
