A window manager allows you to move and resize windows, iconify them, and so on. A session manager remembers which windows (applications) were open and starts them on the next login. A session manager may also remeber the geometries of the windows involved, and perhaps the workspace they were on. Most people use a window manager, but not everyone needs a session manager. I, for example, just put the programs I want in ~/.xinitrc. Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
