Another issue: Sessions are stored in the app-specific (KDevelop, Quanta, 
$random-unit-test, ...) folder in $KDEHOME/share/apps/ .

The DUChain stuff otoh is shared across all apps via ~/.kdevduchain

The question is hence: Should we also save sessions in a uniquely shared dir 
in e.g. $KDEHOME/share/apps/kdevplatform or similar?

If we don't do this, I don't see a way to properly find and purge cache dirs 
for not-existing sessions, considering that the session can reside in 
$arbitrary-app-config-folder...
