That's pretty much what Gnome session management used to do. I know
when running Gnome out of the old version in the AUI locker, I would
occasionally get "Applet _____ seems to have crashed. Restart it?"
dialog boxes.
It, of course, also had to be notified when something was
intentionally removed, which is part of the reason session management
was so complicated, and thus buggy.
