Hmm, having a second thought, maybe the following would work:

- if the start page is shown, no session is auto-loaded, instead you get
  to choose
- if one disables the start page the last-used session is always loaded
  on start

This obviously conflicts with the quick-open idea, because then re-loading
projects while viewing the start-page is not happening.
