The point is that the profile names / profile IDs are client-side  
only. Nothing on the server is aware of them.

What you can do is, you can write some code that matches settings of  
the running session (all hidden in the session name string) with  
matches in the local session profiles.

However, this mapping will and can never, in all thinkable generic  
case, be bijective.

What I do in another project, I compare the commands that launched the  
session. For this, I quite recently added this commit:
