How can I prevent users from saving field sets in "FieldPicker"?

Is it possible to prevent users from saving field sets in "FieldPicker" module in specific application?

Rational: Allow users to modify fields selection in "FieldPicker" during their session, but reset to some default set upon new login.

Yes, but it's a bit of a pain. You can put isSticky="False" into the top level tag in the view, but assuming your users have already been using the view, you'll also have to hunt down all the viewstate stanzas that each users might have created and delete them.
