xterm used X11R5 session management via gnome-smproxy to work in previous releases, I would guess. gnome-smproxy is still there, I don't know why it doesn't work - I'd sort of expect it to. However the message about whether a given app will be saved is based on X11R6 session management, so will indicate that xterm doesn't support SM. And even with gnome-smproxy, I believe this is partly true, in that the window manager can't record window state for X11R5 clients. This is not bleeding edge stuff, given the release date of X11R6, so xterm is sort of sad in this respect... Havoc
