The mouse process circle is rotating and the session bar is not moving 
(over minutes). If
I then click into the Qt Creator, I get the message in the title bar "no 
response".
I can do nothing, only to 'close' the Qt Creator or close with the MS 
Windows Task-Manager.

Or maybe also just with some file name, don't know for sure if that prevents loading the last session.
I had a emergency stop button (red button) image in my thoughts and 
which will stop loading the last session
and load the default session. :-)
Example:
I create with Qt Creator 2.7.2  a new session and load the 2.8.0 rc 
source code in it.
Then build the Qt Creator 2.8.0 rc and let the Qt Creator 2.7.2 program 
running (or open).
I switch to the /bin folder of the new Qt Creator 2.8.0 rc and start 
this program.
The program loads the current session from the settings Qt Creator 
2.7.2, the Qt Creator 2.8.0 rc source code.
And this loading will never end. That is what I mean, it 'hangs'.
(It starts never with an empty session or default session.)
The new Qt Creator gets the last session from 
/AppData/Roaming/QtProject/QtCreator.ini, the same for
the Qt Creator 2.7.2.
...
[ProjectExplorer]
StartupSession=Qt Creator 2.8.0 rc          (my session name)
...

I had have this behavior for other Qt Creator versions, too.

I know, that I can change the path for the new QtCreator.ini in the 
'app_version.h.in' before I compile.
