Personally I have one session that I keep empty for fast logins. You could alternatively create a new session for that purpose every time you want to start with an empty session, and not save that session on logout, but you would have to name the session at start.

This doesn't really change the fact that currently it seems to me (and 
PK) that many less experienced users do not seem to understand what 
"saving a session" even means, and it takes more than a bit of 
explaining before they do. I'm talking about people like my elderly 
relatives, not linux-enthusiasts and computer geeks like us. I am not 
saying this feature is useless, but the UI implementation is not ideal.

> I would like to be able to save session by name within a session. I would also like to be able to see which is the name of the session I am using. And I would like to be able to clear a session by its name. Currently I can only find a way to clear all saved sessions at once in the settings.

You might want to file a feature request of your own.
