Hi, all,
Some guys with GNOME 2/3/Unify, KDE 3/4 and LXDE, can you please check if the X11R4 session protocol works? Just activate your "save session on logout", run a couple of gtk+ programs (evince/charmap without gnome support, firefox, transmission, ...), then logout, login, and see if the programs are restarted.
Perhaps you already know since you didn't list it, XFCE4 will re-start firefox 5 with the tabs it last had open. XFCE is of course the DE of choice for developers since Linus switched to it from Gnome.
I *thought* that geany sm branch worked with it too, but that was on another machine, and I havn't the bandwidth here to download it to test.

XSMP support is a grief. And looking at GNOME, I'm now unsure which DE-s support X11R4 (let's avoid "legacy", which in gnome means "xsmp").
My Googling before the OP suggested that Gnome didn't and there were a lot of unhappy people as a result.
As of ability, WM_SAVE_YOURSELF is much easier to support than XSMP, and the change will affect almost exclusively sm.c, anything else being 95% identical to the existing sm code. Many years ago, I extended the nedit save yourself handler a bit, in the (never released) 5.6 version.
Won't allow user choice for saving files but will restore session?
Yes.
Fine by me, the OP was prompted by being sick and tired of having to close and re-open Geany to save build commands and preferences.
Cheers Lex
