@Elv13 I'm using the API to implement generic single instance IDs in a custom `spawn` library. When spawning a client, a unique ID is generated and set as an environment...

@Elv13 The `LD_PRELOAD` tool is at [wm-launch](https://github.com/jcrd/wm-launch). Although fairly rudimentary, I've made the accompanying awesome library available [here](https://github.com/jcrd/awesome-launch).

Thanks for your interest in this project! I am not especially familiar with gnome-session or xfce-session but it looks like they both primarily deal with starting relevant components of their...
