NAME

smproxy - Session Manager Proxy

SYNOPSIS

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

OPTIONS

Specifies the session ID used by smproxy in the previous session.
Specifies the file used by smproxy to save state in the previous session.
Prints the program version and exits.

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 application, 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 properties.

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 manager to restart the application (using WM_COMMAND), but no state will be restored.
