I didn't put much thinking into this, but this looks like a problem similar to what the GNOME panel tries to do: proposes a dialog to relaunch the applet that crash. In the case of the session, it's slightly different in that it has to deal with e.g. metacity or nautilus crashes fast and I find it nice that it's so transparent for the user (try to kill metacity or your panel, and it will pop back nicely). Perhaps a flag to request confirmation exists or should be added in the session management stuff, feel free to request this upstream or in Debian (preferably upstream) with your rationale. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
