many startup programs in Gnome 2.24 Session preferences

I see quite a few new startup programs in the new Gnome Session preferences.
1. AT SPI Registry Wrapper ( what does this do?)
2. Gnome Keyring Daemon wrapper.
3. Gnome Settings Daemon
4. Gnome Settings Daemon helper

Which of these can be safely removed or disabled?

I disabled Gnome Login sound and Remote Desktop.

Thanks.

1. AT SPI Registry Wrapper - is related with accessibility. I've disabled it to no ill effect.
2. GNOME Keyring Daemon Wrapper - sounds important, so I left it enabled. after all, network-manager accesses the keyring (as well as some other programs).
3. GNOME Settings Daemon - I left this alone because it sounds important. I think, if you disable, you may have problems with wallpapers and other visual styles.
4. GNOME Settings Daemon Helper - Same as above.

I left 3. Gnome Settings Daemon enabled, and no problem at all.
In fact, why don't you just try to disable some of them and see what may happen next? It's quite easy to change it back after all.
