+/** 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 iteract 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>
