Actually having one fixed session for each KDevelop instance would allow 
binding the .kdevduchain/X instance directory to it, or maybe even directly 
putting the duchain directory into the session directory. Then we should allow 
each session to be opened only within one KDevelop instance at a time, and 
advertise the sessions a bit more, then we would have solved an important 
duchain problem (.kdevduchain/X directory getting too large because too many 
different projects share it).
