You should recall that we can't do this because [ -x /path/to/foo ] is 
impossible.  LDM needs to loop through the Xsession list through 
multiple round-trips through the ssh tunnel.  This sucks, but at least 
it is only a fallback if not otherwise specified in lts.conf or the 
previously proposed ldminfod.

I thought we were against lts.conf for this purpose, and we considered 
it unfortunate that the LDM_SESSION variable was used for this purpose 
in the past.

Are we still in favor of making ldminfod tell LDM the preferred Xsession 
path, and the slow loop as a fallback if ldminfod (older version) is not 
supplying it?
