How should this be done?  Should we have a process in gnome-session that claims ownership, and sits.
When it gets killed by gnome-session, it traps it, and disowns esd.

Or can gnome-session have a section for "shutdown" - programs to run when shutting down?

How exactly does gnome-session kill things, anyway?  Are there any good docs an ICE?
