i'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but here goes:
I've used session management on multiple occasions, usually when i'm
browsing multiple sites, and don't have the time to either save them all
as bookmarks, or even to look at them all.
for instance, the other day i was researching how to make a component
media player using linux.  i had somewhere between 8 and 10 tabs open at
once, pointing to places like freevo.sf.net, sites for universal
remotes, component sized PC cases, etc.  
as i didn't have much time to look at all the sites, i saved the
session.  now, whenever i feel like doing more research, or reading some
mailing lists regarding my little pet project, i just open the session.
it's a pretty nifty feature, and i commend whoever designed it.

it has several advantages over bookmarks, the most obvious to me being
that sessions usually contain many tabs or instances of the browser. 
bookmarking every site would be pretty tedious.  saving the session is
just faster.  plus, when you want to go back to all the sites, open the
session.  opening a session is faster than opening all the individual
bookmarks as well.

anyway, i use sessions, so count me as one of the users you are looking
for.  i can't say that it's a make or break feature for me, and i
certainly wont stop using galeon if it disappears (i've been using it
since the .6 days :)
since it's buried in the File menu, i dont think it adds any unnecessary
cruft or crack, and it doesnt, in my opinion, add any usability
problems.  

HTH,
Matt
