They seem to be the best one to me, right now... I'd like to have
a standard way to deal with this for GNOME and KDE.
One possible solution for not depending on gconf/gnome-session is
simply adding a file as conffile to the correct directory, as jdub
pointed out to me on IRC, but I still want to clear the 'it's already
there' question before switching to this method.

I'd say that's improbable. Anyway, we have the tools to handle this
fairly well. I don't see it as a problem.
