Couple of points.  gnome-session seems to be, ahem, flakey at best,
even on it's "native" Linux platform.  On both FreeBSD and Solaris 2.6
it's one of those "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't" things,
with no apparent reason as to why.

From what I can see, the session management isn't particularly good
anyway, at the moment, so you might as well simply do a:

	panel
	exec window-manager-of-your-choice

for now.  Others using non-Linux platforms have also reported better
success using windowmaker rather than enlightenment.
