NAME
smproxy - Session Manager Proxy

SYNOPSIS
smproxy [-clientId id] [-restore saveFile]

OPTIONS
-clientId id
Specifies the session ID used by smproxy in the
previous session.

-restore saveFile
Specifies the file used by smproxy to save state
in the previous session.

DESCRIPTION
smproxy allows X applications that do not support X11R6
session management to participate in an X11R6 session.

In order for smproxy to act as a proxy for an X applica-
tion, one of the following must be true:

- The application maps a top level window containing the
WM_CLIENT_LEADER property. This property provides a
pointer to the client leader window which contains the
WM_CLASS, WM_NAME, WM_COMMAND, and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE prop-
erties.

or ...

- The application maps a top level window which does not
contain the WM_CLIENT_LEADER property. However, this top
level window contains the WM_CLASS, WM_NAME, WM_COMMAND,
and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE properties.

An application that support the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol
will receive a WM_SAVE_YOURSELF client message each time
the session manager issues a checkpoint or shutdown. This
allows the application to save state. If an application
does not support the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol, then the
proxy will provide enough information to the session man-
ager to restart the application (using WM_COMMAND), but no
state will be restored.
