Ok, let's start slowly.
I just added a new app (tutorial ;-) ) and put this in my plugins line:
use Catalyst qw/-Debug Static::Simple Session
        Session::State::Cookie
        Session::Store::File/;

According to what I think a sessionid should be generated when I request 
a page, correct?
Well, it doesn't look like that:

Ah, ok, you have to do something with that session actually, so I added 
$c->session->{test}='test'; to /default.
Wow, I get a sessionid now, and I see my browser has a cookie now. Nice, 
but maybe that should be mentioned in the docs, there is only session 
magic if you actually access $c->session.

I reload my page, I still have the same sessionid so the cookie is 
actually sent back like it should. Awesome.

But now I have to figure out why it doesn't work in my application, the 
sessionid is generated but I don't get any cookies :-(
