Indeed, one of the things that first piqued my curiosity was the
message when quitting a Sage session: "Exiting spawned Maxima
process." or "Exiting spawned Gap process."  Another approach to
raising user awareness might be to have each component of Sage
"register" its use in a session, even if it doesn't require spawning a
new process.  Then the list of used components could be printed when
quitting a session.  But can this be done without adding tons of
overhead?
