sessions and active placement

[Greg Fall <gmfall engin umich edu>]

I use active window placement in enlightenment, and whenever I start a
GNOME session, I have to sit and babysit, putting the help browser and the
file manager where I want them (I don't save my sessions because I'd be
placing 50 windows by hand). This is the one time when I wish the session
manager would override the window manager and force window placement at a
certain spot.  I assume this can be done; Netscape for one does it.

Just for laughs (OT) I'll also mention that with active placement,
enlightenment dies (has since day 1), and not gracefully (i.e. it
freezes), if any existing gtk+ window has a popup menu out and a new
window appears, waiting to be put somewhere.  Try it.
