Saving Sessions List

I've Googled, and searched here, to no avail. I recall that some time back, when I used Mandrake, KDE-2..., I think, one could save a Named Session. And more than one, to a List. So you could set up a Graphic Session, with apps and tools open across 2 or 3 Desktops, then Save it to a List, as, say, "Graphics1". Then create a DTP Session, with apps, tools, contents materials, so on, similarly, as "DTP1", and so on.

You could then work as per usual, on general things, and log out, on the "Restore Current Session", mode. At next startup, a normal logon put you into the previous Session. Alternatively, at the login screen, the logon list offered the stored Sessions - so that you could select, say, your "Graphics1" Session, and that was the setup you'd have when you logged-in.

This does seem to be missing from KDE-3.x at present. Yes, I know about the "Save Session Manually" in Session Manager - which then puts a temporary entry in K-Menu - but no options to save to a List. At present I'm using the very good PCLinuxOS-2007, and have just noticed after an "Update All", that there is indeed a Sessions Manager List tool in Synaptic's lists - but it's for Gnome!

Is there actually still a way to save Sessions to a list in KDE-3.x, or, is there some sort of utility or plugin, obviously, fully compatible with KDE-3.x, for doing so? Failing all that - is there an intention to restore this function in the new KDE-4.x?

Thanks for any information anyone has about this.

Regards, Dave.
