NAME
       smproxy - Session Manager Proxy

SYNOPSIS
       smproxy [-clientId id] [-restore saveFile]

OPTIONS
       -clientId id
               Specifies  the  session  ID used by smproxy in the
               previous session.

       -restore saveFile
               Specifies the file used by smproxy to  save  state
               in the previous session.

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  applica-
       tion, 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 prop-
       erties.

       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 man-
       ager to restart the application (using WM_COMMAND), but no
       state will be restored.
