  Ah, gnome-session checks for that? Ok, it behaves sanely then. And
to be fair, it's not a bug in compiz; the reason I ran into this
problem is because I was running compiz with --sm-disable... (Yes it
was necessary at the time that I had set it up, I can explain why.)

  So I have nothing more to complain about here. :^) I'll leave it to
you to close the bug, I'd do it but I'm not sure what's the correct
way in this case.

Thanks again,
Vasilis
