Re: An suggestion and a complaint.

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

The panel does its own session management at the moment (if you look at
the code for initialising panel applets, it disables normal session
management).

To get things working correctly, you want the swallowed app to also ignore
session management.  Maybe this could be achieved by unsetting the
SESSION_MANAGER variable.  This would have the undesired side effect that
no apps started by the wterm would be session managed :(

I don't know what the best solution to the problem is.

James.
