Ok.  Actually, this is already implemented.  So we don't actually have
to change anything to keep it working.

The panel can easily check to see if a session manager is running, and
modify its behavior accordingly.  See gnome_session_connected_p().

That's the plan, mostly.  There might be a small built-in GUI for
error reporting.  I'm not sure yet.  It's something we can play with,
anyway.
