Some general cleanup of gsm. Addition of basic multi-session support so that
gnome-session now supports --choose-session=ARG command line option. Incorporated the capplet code back into gnome-core/gsm module [since most of the code was being duplicated anyway] and implemented support for multi-session [although still a little buggy].
