There's nothing there that I can see that provides the ability to add 
new sessions

Same here...nothing I can find with this interface to add new sessions.  
You can choose the 'default' session when gdm comes up, but...

I had forgotten about this mail (blast from the past).  Unfortunately, 
the path no longer seems to exist with version 4 of NetBSD.  I was 
trying to get 'locate' to work so I could find all occurances of a 
Sessions directory on this box, but I'm not sure what the equivalent 
command is on NetBSD for 'updatedb' so locate has something to check 
against.
