If you can convince the rest of the XSF to do this I would be
thrilled. That installing galeon always takes over the x-session
management has anoyed me for years now and having a seperate package
for something so trivial is suboptimal.
You could probably stick the shell code that gets executed when no
x-session-manager is found into a x-default-session-manager script,
provide that as alternative and always call x-session-manager then.
