You are right. GTK does not have any API for session-management. The
session management API in Gnome is a pretty simple (and thin) wrapper
around the X session management API. So, if you want session management
in your GTK program without using gnome-libs, you will have to use the X
session management API directly.

Check out http://developer.gnome.org/arch/sm/ for links to documentation
on X session management.
