That's perhaps one nice reason for making this an extension to the
.desktop file.  This way people could add a desktop file for Failsafe if
they (or their users) want this sort of feature.  But, I was just
pointing out that there are a few different ways that you could get
"Failsafe" behavior.  Basically it's just nice to have a feature that
allows you to login without complaining about problems caused by
sourcing Xsession or other scripts, or if your $HOME directory can't
be accessed.
