FYI I implemented this idea.  See

	gnome-libs/libgnomeui/gnome-startup.[ch]

There's only one function in there; it acquires the "token"
(implemented as an X property).  I also updated the *-properties
programs to use this.

Tests with gnome-session seem to indicate that it works.


Note that gnome-session should now be basically usable.  It starts the
panel by default.  I'd be happy if people would use it and send in bug
reports.
