Re: Session management

On  3 Dec, Michael O'Reilly scribbled:

gnome-session is pretty broken right now - as are all gnome clients -
the MW has no chance of ding this as the session ID is never set on
those client windows so the WM cant identfy the session those windows
belong to. Also gnome-session itself has many issues :)
