Sorry, I missed that part of your explanation.

I still don't see anything fundamentally wrong with calling
"Xfce4-session.saveSession()" from Xfce4-power-manager, though. This
way the power manager would manage power and xfce4-session would deal
with the session related stuff.

I'm nitpicking, I know. There is a lot more going on underneath and
practical reasons (like implementation effort) might be more important
here than encapsulation. Just sharing my opinion.
