It does make applications depend on a session process providing org.gnome.SessionManager, but you could code that up in about 50 lines of python if you really wanted. @Cody: Well, no, not really.

We use gnome-screensaver and gnome-power-manager to offer user friendly power management options to our users. I'm all for better architect but am I correct in understanding that these changes will make g-p-m and g-s-s depend on gnome session manager? : ( From the sounds of it, this change will adversely affect Xubuntu.

Is it for cases where, e.g. you're burning a CD, and if you log out, the burner will get terminated mid-job, resulting in a brand new coaster for your tea cup? What about user-switches then? Okay, every time I tried to use the fast user switcher applet, my X server promptly crashed, so I can see how it's the same thing as a logout, but, assuming this gets fixed, what's the harm?

ConsoleKit is aware of each session, and so I would imagine this goes through ConsoleKit too. @Corey: Well, DK-p is system based, and gnome-session is session based.

If this is landing in GNOME 2.26, I should make it work. It should be straight forward enough. Out of interest, is the DBus API documented somewhere? @hughsie: no Empathy is not wired up yet.

But then why not push this kind of interface into devkit? Or are we going to have another go 'round, where gnome-session proxies to a devkit interface in the future when that is more settled?
