We at least need to provide a command line to the session manager with
which it restart the client with the same configuration (which is
implemented right now). Besides that, I agree that Licq does not need to
store more session state.

AFAIK the session id is just passed to the client so that it can restore
any state it previously stored under that id. Licq doesn't use this
mechanism at all right now, and therefore the parameter could be removed
in LicqGui::commitData(). Actually, this would also fix the problem that
an additional "-session" parameter is added to the command line on each
session restore, i.e. Licq's command line grows longer and longer.

Right, that was the problem, it works now.

Fiddling with this a bit, I noticed a related issue, which does not
appear with the KDE-style shortcut handling: When setting the show/hide
shortcut to Alt+I or Meta+I, pressing this shortcut in the Licq main
window will switch to the "Ignore" group. Looks like the key event is
not consumed completely.
