+/** The SessionManager service provides an interface to the session manager
+ of the desktop. A session manager keeps track of applications that are
+ running when the desktop shuts down and starts them again in the same
+ state they were left when the desktop starts up the next time. To be able
+ to do this the session manager needs cooperation from applications;
+ applications have to provide sufficient information to be started again as
+ well as restore the state they were left in. The normal flow of operation
+ looks like this:
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>The user starts the desktop shutdown.</li>
+ <li>The session manager informs all its connected applications
+ about the pending shutdown.</li>
+ <li>Each application saves its current state; while doing this it may
+ <ul>
+ <li>The application may request to interact with the user (e.g. to ask
+ where to save documents). This request is necessary because at any one
+ time only one application can interact with the user. The session manager
+ coordinates these requests and grants every application in need of user
+ interaction a timeslot in which it may interact with the user</li>
+ <li>try to cancel the whole shutdown; the session manager may or may
+ not honor that request.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>After saving is done the session manager signals all applications
+ to exit.</li>
+ <li>Applications answer the exit message by disconnecting from the
+ session manager.</li>
+ <li>After all applications have exited or a reasonable timeout the
+ session manager kills all remaining applications and finally lets the
+ desktop shut down.</li>
+ </ol>
