Session related stuff can save for a user into database nicely by 
creating serialized data. You have one field, unserialize existing data 
and serialize new setting and save them.
Saving session related stuff works at that principle in tm_shared_lib.
Saves main and sub modules and last visited page. Using serialized data 
you can easily add anything you want to save.
