Problems in saving sessions with some vim plugins

Trying to put together a Vim setup using NERDTree, session and tabbar.

Unfortunately tabbar (which is based on minibufexpl) does not go well with the session plugin.

Is there a workaround/alternative for this? Or do I have to give up one of these plugins.

I believe, tabbar/minibufexpl does not have session support at all, no matter whether you use “session” plugin or :mksession directly. To make tabbar work with sessions you must, at first, setup a BufReadCmd that will invoke tabbar on already opened buffer that has a name -TabBar-. Maybe it is better to also rename -TabBar- to //TabBar// because with autocmd invoked for -TabBar- you lose the ability to open/create file with name -TabBar- completely, but with //TabBar// nothing is lost. Note though, that BufReadCmd may be not enough.
