Sorry if the question is stupid, but: What is a session manager, and how does it
get involved?

THX

AFAIK the session manager is a program that

a) starts the programs of a desktop env (gnome needsnautilus,metacity,gnome-panel and maybe more)b) starts certain other programs (e.g. in gnome: recovers a session).for more detail : man xsm
