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.
