Oh cool! Now I am able to launch the session but as expected, its not feature 
complete. In 5 min, I found that

- There is no taskbar, 

- font sizing is different than X, had to readjust the sizes

- desktop interaction is not correct, right click menu opened in top left 
corner instead of current mouse position

- no keyboard shortcuts 

- mouse pointer shape is weird sometimes, does not change correctly with a URL 
in konqueror/firefox

- window decorations are weird, some of them are breeze, some of them get 
plastiq(ish)

Guess, in another release, it would be good.
