"This patch implements session management. Most of the ideas are taken
from Konsole, which is also a KUniqueApplication but manages session
restoring correctly."

I rechecked some of the testing I did with konsole - it doesn't handle 
activities correctly either, like many other apps it leaves phantom windows 
running when the session is closed.

e.g

- Start two Activities
- Start konsole in both activities
- Close Activitiy 2
- close konsole in Activity 1
- Process list reveals konsole is still running. Its actually the konsole 
window from Activity 2 which didn't close when the Activity closed. If you 
then reopened konsole it would title itself <2>, indicating window 2.

KDE 4.8.3

I think at the very least, konsole & rekonq main windows should be checking 
for the closure of the Activity they are in and closing that window.

Further to that, rekonq should be saving its open tabs & state on a per 
activity basis.

Gotta cook dinner now - steak on the BBQ & beer. Will expand on this further.
