It is nicer if you already add that, agreed. But the committer is
ultimately responsible for a good commit message.

Forgot to push these out, sorry. Done now.

I reopened the bug for now.

What would you think about an _optional_ parameter to the wrapper
script, that is only used for non-default WMs, and whose session files
will only work with compliant (modern) DMs ?

Ideally we would not ship a whole bunch of .session files either, but
pass it along somehow to something like Debian's gnome-wm script (which
we would need to ship).


_But_, as we still don't have the capacity to support all this under the
Gnome Flashback label, I'm still not convinced it's worth going through
all that trouble... Somebody just testing gnome-panel et al. with other
WMs should be able to tweak a few files locally...

Thoughts ?

Cheers
