Introduction to Sessions
      * GNOME Desktop System Administration Guide
      * Session Management

A session occurs between the time that a user logs in to the GNOME
Desktop and the time that the user logs out. The session manager starts
after the Login Manager authenticates the user. The session manager
enables the user to manage the session. For example, a user can save the
state of a session and return to that session the next time that the
user logs in. 

At a minimum, the following applications run in a session:

      * The session manager, gnome-session. 
      * The GConf X settings daemon, gnome-settings-daemon. 
      * The gnome-panel application, which runs the panels in the GNOME
        Desktop. 
      * The Metacity window manager.  

After failing with saving the session and restarting gdm I still got the
g-s-d errors, but when I logged out and logged back in the error(s) went
away.  I use automatic login normally, so it appears that the session
manager components (including g-s-d) aren't coming up fast enough during
automatic login, but everything is OK with a manual login.
