 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.
