Way too much text you know ;-).

* For the desktop file name you can also look if the window's role
name is unique, Thunar and Terminal set a unique role name for session
management.

* I agree we should stick with the priority thing, gives more
(possibly) flexibility for launching applications. The "don't care and
just spawn" > 50 priority makes sense. On the other hand, if a splash
screen is activated, we might want to wait until *all* the apps are
launched.

* We support multiple sessions? Better drop it until we can handle 1
session properly.

Everything else seems to make sense, it will make session management a
whole lot easier to understand.
