Cool!  Please tell us if you find any useful tricks to make this task
easier... in Nautilus I don't really know how to proceed, other than
storing a couple flags in the NautilusDesktop structure:
directory_said_it_finished_loading and got_the_first_expose_event.

Uh, I don't think they are handled specially.  They are just clients
that come from the default session (/usr/share/gnome/default.session).
When they load, they ask the session manager to make them "restart
immediately" if they exit.

Yes.  That's the ISO standard reference machine :)
