Good. But I'd probably make it:


kdevelop+kdevplatform
kdelibs
kdebase
php+php-doc+xdebug
---------
Manage...

As I guess it will mostly be used only for loading sessions, not for managing 
them.

And well, I'd make it a submenu of the "Projects" menu, as at least to me, a 
session will primarily be a set of open projects. The fact that a session also 
includes more settings is more an implementation detail, but I think to the 
user it will primarily allow switching between sets of different project-sets. 
I can also live with the top-level menu, but I think having it in the 
"Projects" menu would be more consistent (together with the "Close Session" 
button)
