RFC on UX surveys on the session preference UI

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro]

Guido,

Thanks for the hints, I wasn't aware of that though I suspected
something of the sort with GNOME D-Bus Activation. Do you happen to
know if they have proposed their new session management protocol to
XDG for standardisation and/or if KDE also have a custom protocol
instead of XSMP?

Thanks,
