My apologies, that was too harsh. You asked a more specific question
this time, so it's not deja-vu.

There is no -v flag to gnome-session. On a linux system, you can do

	ls -l /proc/$(pgrep gnome-session)/exe

to see which binary is being run and then use your packaging system to
find out whether this is the GNOME 1 or GNOME 2 (rpm -qf ..., or similar
Debian magic, etc). Other systems may have similar tricks.
