I tested it on KDE, and it work there too.  I believe it should be
enabled by default to improve the ltspfs user experience a lot.

What about dynamically detect a Gnome session, and not send any
notifications there?

I looked at a Gnome session on Ubuntu/Lucid to try to figure out how
to detect a Gnome session, and some of these environment variables can
probably be used:

root at gnome-desktop:~# cat /proc/4408/environ |tr "\0" "\n"|sort|grep -i gnome|grep -vi keyring
DEFAULTS_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/gnome.default.path
DESKTOP_SESSION=gnome
GDMSESSION=gnome
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated
MANDATORY_PATH=/usr/share/gconf/gnome.mandatory.path
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-gnome:/etc/xdg
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/gnome:/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
root at susanoo:~#

For a KDE session on Debian Edu/Lenny, I got these environment
variables set:

pere at kde-desktop ~/ $ env |sort|grep -i kde
DESKTOP_SESSION=kde
KDEDIRS=/usr/share/debian-edu-artwork/kde-profile:/usr/share/debian-edu/networked-kde3:/usr/share/debian-edu/common:/usr
KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
KDE_MULTIHEAD=false
KDE_SESSION_UID=43502
pre at kde-desktop ~/ $

Perhaps the DESKTOP_SESSION variable is a good choice?

Happy hacking,
