+# /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70monkeysphere_use_validation_agent
+
+# This is a script to be sourced by Xsession.  It wraps the session
+# startup argument with a monkeysphere-validation-agent nested
+# process, if available and none already exist.
+
+# Enable this system-wide by adding a line to
+# /etc/X11/Xsession.options that reads:
+# use-monkeysphere-validation-agent
+
+# Note that there is some weird interaction between this and
+# dbus-session at the moment: dbus-launch can start the msva just
+# fine, but if msva tries to start dbus-launch, dbus-launch fails
+# with:
+
+# Failed to waitpid() for babysitter intermediate process: No child processes
+
+# So this is placed at position 70 -- *before* the dbus Xsession
+# startup script, which is at 75 as of 2010-03-12, when i wrote this.
