I'll look at the branch, libgee was just easier to use than standard arrays.
I use more arrays on my current local changes, so I need also to adapt it
to those changes.

I'm currently rewritten the dbus interface, it will expose less stuff and
dynamically expose the option available, instead of hardcoding all the
methods.

Could you be more specific ? All variables I found in old lxsession code
was kept in lxsession/environnement.vala

You can build the lxsession binary without linking to gtk+, but there is
still stuff in the lxsession source that need gtk+ (lxsession-logout,
lxsession-edit ...).
