Named sessions support is on the infinitely long (and totally outdated)
TODO list, at least under consideration.  In the meantime you can enable
'Save session on quit' in Preferences and use File/Quit.

The problem with named sessions is that no one has yet come up with a
use case or a definition of a session, so it's vague at best how it
should behave.  For example, at the moment Galeon has no idea on which
workspace each window exists; should a session restore windows back to
the original workspaces?  Or should loading the session replace the
current set of windows, or open new ones in addition?  And of course
there's the question of how to present the sessions in the UI, one
possibility would be to handle sessions as extended bookmarks.  (It is,
after all, just a set of URLs...)

So, first you need a plan, only then one can dream of an implementation.
