As I understand x-session-manager it should be the program that
manages the x session, probably remembers old sessions, and on
it's exit the users X session should end. Many people use just a
window manager to accomplish this task, though it would not save
past sessions. That leads me to a simple idea.
What about registering x-window-manager as an alternative to
x-session-manager? It should even survive tests like "test -e
/usr/bin/x-session-manager ]" if you don't have any window
managers installed.
