I think the best approach for this would be to get some existing session
manager to work with xfce4. When we start on the default startup scripts
we should look at making xsm or gnome-session working properly with
XFce4. This should be a low priority and only if many people can't live
without session management.

Since SM is standards based, the inability to work with these session
managers indicates that there *may* be a bug in our session management
library.

I think session management merits testing at some point.
