I tried running a the session manager last night with only openbox 
running, it seemed to work ok but being new to a session manager in this 
context I have a couple questions for you and David. (and anybody else 
who might have an oppion I guess)


1. What are the advantages of using a session manager?

2. Is there a way to make the gnome-session session exit with the 
<action name="exit" />, last night for me it was just killing the window 
manager and leaving the session running
