the whole idea of X-GNOME-* is that it only applies to GNOME. Hacking the session 
manager to take care of gnome's everchanging api is undoubtably not a high priority, 
albeit it could be done. Perhaps file a feature request?

Doesn't the 'start gnome services at startup' option already take care of this for you?

personally, I would object against something scanning all desktop files at boot time 
looking for stuff to start. I'd rather have a window that allows me to choose from them.

Cheers,
