I'd put it like this: in-session bookmark changes are not saved to disk (config 
file) until the next "OK/Commit" in a config dialog, or session-end. If you are 
configured to refresh current configuration upon detecting change of config 
file (and the default is to do this), then a saved 2nd session will in effect 
overwrite a 1st session.

Maybe we should change that default ?
