Hello,

I can't answer this from a TurboGears perspective, as I'm still learning
it.  But I think I can answer your question more generally.

Session state is generally maintained in one of two ways.  Either the web
server gives the browser a cookie with a session ID in it, or the session ID
needs to be part of the URL.

If you are using a cookie, each browser window has access to the same
cookies, so you won't be able to distinguish one session from another if you
have 5 windows of the same browser open.  (Many browser windows are still
basically one instance of a browser.)

If you are using the URL to maintain the session state, then having multiple
sessions in a window would be possible.

I gave the TG2 documentation a cursory glance, and I inferred that TG2
sessions use cookies.  I may be wrong, or you may find that its not all that
difficult to add a unique ID to each URL that distinguishes the session.

Mike
