Frankly, I don't believe that is an acceptable solution. Alt-F2 to start 
a run dialog is probably a very common use of shortcuts. Applications 
started like this should not magically disappear from the session.

Having the SESSION_MANAGER variable available in the mcs manager (and 
its child processes) doesn't harm anything, does it? Would you object to 
a patch to move setting of the variable before running mcs manager?

Getting rid of MCS is not really an option now.
