Sorry for hopping into the discussion this late but I still think that it is NOT the duty of window managers to setup pulse correctly. Sound is something inherent to the system and not a user session. Since prominent(tm) opinion seems to diverge from this we should at least take care that these things are handled by the system automatically. By adding support for this to all window manager packages we will just work around the general problem but not solve it. One good solution would be to make a general requirement for window managers in fedora to execute some config setup script when they launch. This script then takes all relevant items for the current config and starts them up. This way future changes to pulse can be handled but also on a more global scope addition of future magic can be handled gracefully via /etc/sysconfig where it belongs and not by hoping that all package maintainers will correctly fix up their packages in time. This will however not solve the problem for CLI users but ok, that is a different story...
