You are right, I haven't thought that sawfish shouldn't touch session
management. Maybe we should recommend that when running
sawfish, some other app for session managment should be used?

Or even better.... detect on sawfish startup (I don't know how :/)
if there is some session management app running and give a warning if
not?
