The drawback of these Ion/*/-approaches is, that you need to think about it and you spend a lot of time setting things up the way you like them to be. That's why a freeze of your user context whenever you leave the box would be a killer feature. It would be in the right place (process management of the kernel) and keep all crappy software which tries to implement session support workaround more simple. Regards, -- Anselm R.
