SUMMARY
A session already saved in kate, but later overwritten with a new state of open files does not save.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open some files
2. Save session
3. Close files partly
4. Save session again
5. Recognize the old session state still shown
6. Quitting kate causes the old session to be saved
7. Reopening kate restores old session.

OBSERVED RESULT
New session states are never save, unless one saves it with different name.

EXPECTED RESULT
Kate allows user to overwrite existing session state.
