Yep.  The problem itself has little to do with session management.  The
same race can appear if I use the following .xinitrc:

	xterm -g 80x50 -sb -ls &
	mywm &
	panel

Assuming `mywm' has supports Gnome WM hints.  Nothing prevents `mywm'
from initializing after the panel has started up.

Trying to solve this problem with the session manager alone doesn't
sound right.
