All right -- I'm sure it's not trivial, but I seriously doubt it will
take as long as:
1. Develop new dbus-based session management spec.
2. Post spec on xdg-list.
3. Get some kind of consensus.
4. Write new session manager (mostly) from scratch.
5. Write new client library from scratch.
6. Make all our apps use #5, but still have a XSMP fallback for
'legacy' environments.
(And I'm sure adding SmRestartImmediately support is still quicker even
if you leave out step #3.)
