I'm not using any desktop environment, but I need a session manager mainly to gracefully halt the system. It seems I can't find any solution around. The only one is xsm, but I got no luck with it.

What do you suggest?

Write your own. Use bash as a shell. You can call setup and teardown scripts from .bash_login and .bash_logout. Include a startx command in bash_login.

Are you sure you need a session manager as opposed to a login manager or display manager? If not, look at SliM, Qingy, cdm or xdm.

You could try the xfce4 session manager. The xfce4 desktop is modular, and many components can be used stand-along. Although you may also need the settings manager.
