You wanted a solution that was completely independent of the window
manager/desktop environment you use. To create such a standard and
make everyone follow it would be very hard, if not impossible.
Especially for most wms, which usual ly don't use any session manager.
You made X source ~/.profile before starting anything -- this kind of
solution would be a definite solution. Why not ask the Xorg team or
whoever you'd ask to, for example, source ~/.xprofile by default?
