Rich,

I didn't mention it in the original email, but this is actually how I
am running the script.  I know that this definitely didn't work
properly (the exit cleanup, that is) with Gnome 2.  I'll see if it
behaves better with Gnome 3 and get back.

However, I'd still like to find a more general solution.  While
hacking the script, I ran and killed it from the command line within X
numerous times and, of course, that will bypass Gnome's session
management.  And, while I don't hate Gnome 3 (sans Unity) nearly as
much as many other people, its lack of customization options could
have me switching to XFCE is the near future.
