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 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  pro-
       tocol,  then  the  proxy will provide enough information to the session manager to restart the application (using WM_COMMAND), but no state
       will be restored.
