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

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.
