FYI -- the init-as-parent thing is fixed by the patch in bug #101351.

I think there are two possible resolutions to this bug.

One is to write a simple wrapper program which connects to the session
manager and runs a child process.  Then, when the session manager exits,
it would kill its child.

Another idea is that, in conjunction with the proper parenting patch,
gnome-session could make a new process group and, on exit, send
SIGHUP to all members of that process group.  This approach is a bit
more general but also less flexible.
