gnome-session-properties only shows a list of autostart apps nowadays,
the list of processes that have a connection to the session manager
has been dropped.

In bug 421912 you can find a patch that adds a "Session" column to
gnome-system-monitor. It doesn't yet offer the functionality of
gnome-session-remove, but that should be easy to add if required.
