i plan to try session management once things settle down in the new box;
it works well on my present box via KDM & XFCE 3 .

Gentoo marks XFCE 4 as 'unstable', but XFCE4-session as 'fails' (whatever).
i'm not sure how upto-date their version of the latter is,
but i can download & compile it myself, if need be.
IIRC there were some serious problems with it at first, but it's ok now.
