NAME
       GNOME Default session configuration file.

       The  /usr/share/gnome/default.session  file contains a list of programs
       to be launched the first time a user logs into the GNOME environment.

       The format of the file is the one used by the  gnome_config  libraries,
       and it looks like this:

       [Section]
       SEQID,id=uniqueID
       SEQID,Priority=PRIO
       SEQID,RestartCommand=command
       num_clients=TOP

       There are three possible names for Section And they are:

       Default

	      This specifies the Default session to load

       Chooser

	      Lets  the user configure which non-session aware programs should
	      be started up when the session begins

       Warner

       Since the gnome_config file format is not very flexible,	 an  array  of
       data  is	 emulated  by  listing	starting  from	0 chunks of "id,Prior-
       ity,RestartCommand", and at the end the num_clients variable lists  the
       number of chunks listed.

       The  uniqueid  key  provides a name that is unique within this file and
       passed to the app as the client id which it must use to	register  with
       gnome-session.

       The RestartCommand specifies the command to run from the $PATH.

       The  Priority  determines  the  order in which the commands are started
       (with Priority = 0 first) and defaults to 50.

       The clients must be numbered from 0 to the value of num_clients-1
