Whats the current status of Session Managers under X ?
Specifically what publically available session managers are available ?
We would like one that would cover all of our X platforms; therefore we would
like the source 8-}

I have seen one called "sm" (?) which I think came on the X11R4 contrib
tape.  I don't have that on-line though, has anybody got the authors'
address ?  Anybody know what the current version is and where it is
available ?

As far as standards are concerned has there been any movement on a
"Window and Session Manager Conventions Manual" that is mentioned in the
ICCCM ?

Thanks for any info,
