Bug Description

Currently there's no known way to customize Pantheon X session in Natty and up for a specific user, because since Natty gnome-session uses dumb system-wide config files at /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ instead of GConf used in Maverick.

I have no idea how to configure or override it for a specific user, to provide the modularity and customizability we promised. I tried the gnome-session-save command which saves current session to user's default one, but it gets overridden. In addidtion, I can't find any docs for versions newer than 2.24 or 2.26.

This is going to be solved by chainloading pantheon-session from gnome-session. Pantheon-session will do all the stuff for us.
