It's one of the most important part, but also the more complex. IMO,
rewriting it will take a very long time. Improving it piece by piece, or
taking another panel is probably easier.

I have plenty of ideas of this 2 items. I'll probably become he
maintainer if nobody come for them.

Config file is a better way to handle it, it's just harder to implement,
for no real gain for end-user. But definitely, should go to lxsession.
