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.
