Re: Session management

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

I think what raster was getting at was that he needs a unique identifier
for each window (not just each application -- some apps have more than one
window) that stays constant between X sessions.

The session id only gives you one id per app, which is not enough, since
geometry information would be stored on a per window basis.
