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.
