What alternate session managers are available for Emacs?

Question

I have read the page in Emacs wiki which contains a list of session manager plugins. But after trying all of these, I am still not happy with any of them.

• Emacs: reopen buffers from last session on startup?
• Saving Window Configurations in Emacs

Explaining your requirements in detail allow us to provide a more specific solution for you.

Edit

Desktop mode allows you to have more than one sessions—saved desktops are not name but directory based.

From chapter Saving Emacs Sessions:

You can save the current desktop and reload one saved in another directory by typing M-x desktop-change-dir.

Furthermore, desktop-path variable allows you to define a list of directories to search for the saved desktops.

Edit 2

The Elisp code snippet sent by scottfrazer allows you to name your session, as in the background it translates the name to the proper directory name for Desktop mode.
