Why that?
Considering that the project manager will probably be quite a complex
and experimental application in its first versions, I wonder if it
won't affect the overall Etoile stability if it kills the inherent
session manager on each crash. Wouldn't it be easier to let the
session manager be a minimal tool that is thus mostly bug-free?
What are the reasons both the session and the project manager are
designed to be the same application?
I said that simply because what project manager will do in Etoile in
the future
is almost exact the same as session manager do now.
Session manager save the states of all windows, even the window manager,
and reload them the next time user start this session.
You can have many sessions and open/save any one of them anytime.
To me, it is just like project manager in Etoile.
The only difference is that you can only have one session opened at one time,
and in most environment, the saved session is not exposed to users.
So what we can do is to expose those saved session,
which is xml file in openbox and gnome-session,
and allows several sessions to be opened at the same time.
Different sessions will be put into difference workspaces
and switching project (session) is simply switching workspaces.
