The one I had was missing notifications from the RequiredProviders
line, but the problem persists even after I added it.

Did manage to find the problem though, I had a startupHook defined
as :

   myStartupHook = return ()

which seems to be contrry to what gnome-session is expecting.

Thanks for your help Joachim.

Cheers,
Erik
