Packaged in wip by Paolo Vincenzo Olivo.

This package provides the XmSm and XmToolbox utilities, to use in
conjuction with the Enhanced Motif Window Manager.

- XmSm is simple session manager that provides session configuration and
  screen locking, as well as shutdown/suspend options. It also launches the
  window manager and the toolbox.

- XmToolbox, is a toolchest like application launcher, which reads it's
  multi-level menu structure from a simple plain-text file (namely
  ~/.toolboxrc).  It also communicates with the session manager to provide
  lock, log out, and shutdown commands.

The session manager may be run from XDM by setting the
DisplayManager*session X resource in xdm-config to xmsession, or by execing
xmsm from ~/.Xprofile. Just make sure to test whether it works by running
'xinit xmsession' before doing any of the above. Note that 'xmsession' is
just a shell script that sets up the environment for xmsm, and is not
needed when this has been done already.
-
xmsm is installed suid root, this is required for screen locking and
running sbin commands. Privileges are dropped at startup and are reacquired
only when necessary.
-
System shutdown, reboot and suspend commands can be altered at compile time
only. Edit constants in smconf.h, or override them in CFLAGS if necessary.
