There was a cock up in gnome-session which Elliot fixed on 26 Jan in
the main cvs tree that might be responsible for your problem. Check
your version of gnome-core/gsm/manager.c(register_client) and see
whether it has a variable called has_faked_id defined inside it.

If not, then (try to) get a more recent version and try it out.

If the problem still remains then get back to me.
