Removing "Save session" from logout menu

[Mike Massonnet]

Hi,

First, please avoid HTML when possible (or use HTML+text at least), when
responding in “text only” here it doesn't catch the right citation depths
which makes it unbearable to know who wrote what.

To be all fair, I never use this option (the checkbox in the logout dialog).
Either it's on or off, and everytime I log in Xfce for the very first time,
I always uncheck it (it is checked by default). I believe it wouldn't harm
but look decent to keep it in the session settings dialog only :-p Nick
already proposed to make it optional through a hidden setting, I guess that
will work for most people.
