If you connect to the session manager, you program will automatically
be restarted when the user logs out and in if it was running when he
logged out.

Have you looked at the session manager interface? It is in one of the
gnomemm libraries (libgnomeuimm or libgnomemm).

Lots of things are in GTK+. Since gtkmm is a wrapper, you get it for
free. You should have a .desktop file but apart from that I don't
think there is anything you have to do.

Unless, of course, you dealing with some of the issues that are more
specific. Like generating thumbnails. But that would probably be
obvious.
