Dunno, I never use those session manager things. The only programs I want
starting up when I login are the panel applets.
Then again, I don't logout that often. I normally just use the "Lock
screen" option. Restarting is for Windows users. ;-)

Sawfish does have this concept of "workspaces" versus "desktops" that I
haven't looked into... maybe it relates to that?

This generally works for me, but again, I don't use it that much.

I found Enlightenment to be the biggest resource pig ever invented. It
makes Emacs look like /bin/ed. Not only did it suck down CPU cycles like
crazy, but it leaked memory like a rusty bucket. It also crashed
periodically, likely related to said memory leaks. But hey, it has 32-bit
color, stereo sound, and nifty animations in it's crash dialog...
(Though I haven't used Enlightenment in a long time. More recent releases
may well have improved.)
