That would of course only be useful in case the page is shown on every startup 
even if you're a regular KDevelop user. Else I would feel lost on that page if 
I exactly know where I want to go. We could also offer something like "Close 
Session", closing everything currently open, and allowing a fresh start from 
the start-page, then this could be handy as well.

Not sure if I'd really use it much, but we have the architecture so we could 
use it for something like this.
