README

This patch enables the Qvwm to support XSMP (X11 Session Management Protocol).

1. Install

   zcat qvwm-1.0.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
   cd qvwm-1.0.2
   patch -p1 < /some/where/qvwm-1.0.2-XSMP.diff
   ./configure
   make
   make install

2. How to use

   Sample of .xinitrc

     WINDOW_MANAGER=qvwm
     export WINDOW_MANAGER
     exec gnome-session

   gnome-session executes gnome-wm to select window manager.
   If WINDOW_MANAGER is set, gnome-wm use it's value as the default
   window manager.

   Qvwm save X clients's state information to ~/qvwm/<session-id>.ini,
   and restore the states from it.

3. BUGS

   Support session management enabled clients only.
     If SM_CLIENT_ID property is not set, qvwm can't restore it's state
     correctly.

   Not tested with xsm. gnome-session only.
