It's pretty complicated. You have to read the session management spec to really understand the details. Briefly, when the session is saved all apps including metacity are asked to save their state. As part of its state, metacity saves where all the windows live to a file in ~/.metacity. When the session is reloaded, the session manager tells metacity which of those files to use. The session manager is also supposed to clean up the unused files but this seems to be unreliable so you probably have a bunch of them. Havoc
