As psm currently does not offer a session editor
putty's session editor must be used, which has limited
usabilty, as often used features are not grouped together.

A simple session editor allowing to edit commonly used
session settings would enhance overall usability of PSM.

Mostly used fields have to be defined and grouped
together e.g.:

[ Connection Settings ]
username: _________
hostname: _________
port: _____
ssh command: ____________________

[ Terminal Settings ]
window settings (most important ones)

logging: [ off ]
logfile: ___________

[ Advanced features ]
x11 forwarding: [ yes ]
auth-agent forw: [ no ]
port forwarding: _________

It might be possible to reuse this component to edit
multiple session where edited fields will be changed in
all sessions, other remain the same (this should be
handeled in a sperate feature request, once the editor
is finished)

    I need to have a think about this one. I don't want to end
    up re-writing the putty interface , as this would make the
    application vunerable to changes in PuTTY itself. Also -
    some settings would be "important" for some people and not
    for others ( eg. logging / port forwarding ).
