-The xsession program is a session manager. It is normally executed by your
-~/.xinitrc (or ~/.xsession) script and controls your X Window session. As
-soon as it is started, xsession launches a window manager and some
-applications of your choice. At anytime during your session, you may switch
-to another window manager or execute some other applications from the
-xsession menus.

-You may also lock your screen using an independent locker application. The
-window contains a message area which is used to notify the user whenever an
-application or a window manager starts or ends, and also to display all the
-output and error messages of the programs (the applications and the window
-managers) run by xsession. The console output messages can also be shown
-either in this area or in a second, separate area.

-One useful feature of xsession is the preprocessing of window managers'
-configuration files. When a window manager is launched, its startup file
-can be filtered through m4(1) or cpp(1). Some macros are defined (such as
-the host name, screen size and so on) that will help you customize your
-menus and screen layout. One advantage of this feature is that several
-window managers can share the same startup file: some lines are protected by
-a test on the "WM_NAME" macro, but the other lines are common. This saves a
-lot of time if you want to maintain the same menu structure for several of
-them. You can also use "include" statements in your file.
