  Target Milestone: Xfce 4.12

We've all known someone or been that someone that at some point in time shut
down their machine while their distro's package manager was in the middle of
rebuilding initrd, unpacking a kernel, or some other critical task that, if
interrupted, would leave the system in a broken state.

It would be great if when logging out / shutting down the machine via
xfce4-session's GUI, it checked to see if the distro's package manager was
running (e.g. dpkg, yum, etc.). If it was running, the user could be warned and
given the opportunity to wait or cancel ending their xfce session.
