Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-12.0.1
Severity: normal

  I have a client that sets Program to the "name" of the program, not the 
command used to invoke it.  This appears to be an error based on the X 
Session Management Protocol's documentation (such as it is).  However, I 
think that xsm's handling of this situation is ...... non-optimal.  When I 
try to restore a session in which this client is saved, xsm begins to restore 
everything and then shuts the session down, dumping me to the login prompt.  
I get the following text in .xsession-errors:

ester:~> cat /tmp/xsession-xsm-bomb 
Xsession: X session started for daniel at Sat Feb 26 22:07:17 EST 2005
-> Red  1.070, Green  1.070, Blue  1.070
<- Red  1.070, Green  1.070, Blue  1.070
xsm: Can't execvp() [REDACTED]: No such file or directory
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
QPixmap: Cannot create a QPixmap when no GUI is being used
The application 'gaim' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified

  The name of the program has been removed to protect the guilty, and also 
because I wrote it ;-).  Obviously the last few lines are just spew from 
kmail and notes that the X server is going away.  It appears that xsm 
terminates abruptly when execvp() failed; I think it would be much more 
graceful to just discard the offending client and continue.

  Incidentally, after this happens I can't restore the session at all because 
a lock file is still hanging around, but I think that's a separate issue.
