/me still on galeon 1

I use sessions in the same way as other people have already described.
- named sessions for a browsing on a particular topic to be continued
later (this includes multiple window/tab configurations)
- temporary unloading galeon from memory when its needed for something
else (i.e "Exit with session")

The main issue with the sessions currently is their inability to save
the back and forward history of the embeds. Bookmarks in their current
form could not support it cleanly even if it was implemented. There
would also be an issue with the multiple windows/tabs saving (size,
position, order).

I think the sessions support could be superior to what we have in
galeon1, but the current bookmarks system would not be able to support
the potential session features without some major tweaking. I believe
the same applies to the underlying session features in gnome.
