I think it would be ugly to have "Session 1 - Projects", "Session 2 - 
Projects" in the menu, as the "Session X" says nothing at all, it would just 
clutter the menu.

If anyone has a "default" session he should delete that, it is just an 
artifact of the old session support. The real default session is always the 
one that was used last.

If you want your sessions to have names, you can simply use "Rename Session" 
to give it a name, and from then on you can also use the command-line "-s" 
switch to pick a specific session by name.
