If session handles should be able to handle the windows size, the
windows positions and the work space where windows should appear, than
I'll use a session handler too.

KDE3 was my first choice, but I can't stand KDE4.

AND KDE3 was to resource hungry for an old PC I used, it was the perfect
desktop for my current PC.

KDE3 was able to handle windows size, IIRC also positions, but IIRC it
couldn't handle the work space.
