Intoduce a system of components and providers

Registered by Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff

Intoduce a system of components and providers of those components, like gnome-session used to have. For example, I have "panel, dock, wallpaper" component list and can easily change the provider of the dock component from Plank to Docky or AWN or whatever.

Whiteboard

gnome-session used to store the component list in gconf at /desktop/gnome/session/required_components_list and the current component providers at /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/filemanager

e.g. /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/panel has "gnome-panel" value

A sample gconf dump from gnome-session: http://pastebin.com/J5uprqLs
