       smproxy - Session Manager Proxy

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.
