I am glad we agree :-)

In general, I think this should also be settable on a per project basis.

For the project session you can currently specify that only forms belonging 
to the project should be included in the session.
(I always set this to on, because opening 100+ units at startup is really counter-productive).

I think the same should be done for packages: packages that are in the project dependencies
and were open the last time the project was open, should be opened again.

Or all packages should be opened.

Anyway, I will test your patch in the weekend (presumably there will still be some changes by then).

Michael.
