 Ticket #3137 adds a change that activates the --display option to the wm's
 session information.

 As such, a session saved with this option can only be restored in the same
 display. This breaks if I restore a session in a alternative virtual
 terminal or in a terminal in another machine. As a result, pidgin never
 restores whith the rest of the session when I change terminals.

 Checking all the programs saved in my session, pidgin is the only one
 adding --display to its session information.

 The patch from ticket #3137 should be reverted.
