I think your message wording is better than what exists now, but this doesn't
solve the problem Telsa is seeing.  I've had the same thing happen on my
system.  I have WindowMaker compiled with Gnome support, and occasionally I'll
get the warning about it not being a compliant Window Manager, but sometimes I
won't.  It's most likely a bug in gnome-session(?), but I haven't tried to track
down the conditions to reproduce it.  By the way, the above link doesn't exist.
I couldn't find a related page on www.gnome.org...
