I think I am almost completely wrong here.  If you have not logged in from
a certain display, the SM could pop up a dialog that says "You have not
logged in from this display before.  Please select a session to use:"

And then a list of sessions.

And something like:

( ) Open read only
(*) Open read/write
( ) Open as copy (based on the one selected)

(with the third option worded in a better way perhaps)

Is this what you had in mind?
