IE, you will be running twm and there will be a small control window for xsm on the screen and a frame which is twm waiting for you to map the xterm window.

Be aware that some program aren't session aware in respect to size and location or screen so you may still wind up needing a way to deal with this.

yup, looks like the following are not cooperating and did not report a
successful save of their state:
xftaskbar4, aterm, gkrellm, xfce4-panel, xfdesktop

so, xsm doesn't seem to be up to the task.  argh.  thanks for your help
though.
