That's the expected behaviour. The xfce-mcs-manager itself should not 
register with the session manager (well, the mcs manager should not be 
used for anything except managing settings). I haven't checked the new 
shortcuts manager, but I expected it to be a separate application, run 
from the session manager. Maybe you can explain your design and why you 
chose it?
