Uh, I think you've lost me a bit, Nedko. What do I appear to be suggesting?
I'm just saying that it might not be such a good idea for a session
manager to kill applications instead of saving them, when asked to
save. Especially if that decision is based on user input that
happened a long time ago (so that the user may have done a lot of work
since making their mistake, but before discovering it was a mistake).
Since none of my applications have any support for any sort of session
manager yet, it's hardly surprising that I might be interested in
thinking about how they might behave if someone tried to use them with
one.

OK... That sounds rather hazardous to me. To
lose all of one's data
instead of saving it, after a potentially long session's work, because
of a check box incorrectly checked when starting the application,
surely wouldn't please many users?
And you are suggesting what?
