XSMP clarifications -------------------
4) avoid loads of needless complexity for app authors (mostly) but also the desktop itself (WM and SM) by resolving to use XSMP only for notification of logout and not for state saving. Save state using autostart + all apps just save their internal state themselves, with the advantage that apps will then also remember state across invocations within a single session, and app programmers have a hope of understanding what their state saving code is supposed to do, unlike the current situation with XSMP. Also, state saving code has a chance of working in a cross-platform way (especially useful for e.g. WINE apps, but also Java, Qt, and these days GTK+ and Mono apps)
