Hm.

BTW, is there some kind of hook to track anonymous sessions? I.e. I want to 
store each newly created *anonymous* session in the db, so I can have a true 
how-many-are-online feature. Last time I checked the new session is only 
sent as a cookie to the client.

Either that, or some kind of flag "clear-on-logout". But offhand I see no 
way to store that flag.
