:) Thank you. Now I know, just seems that there is no python binding
to the reference SM libs. At least within my google-fu reach.

Yep. I am in a quest for just being told that session is about to end
to get terminal wd saved.
(I elected to save the rest, i.e. app layout, only on user demand).

I was at first mislead by  xfce session dbus presence:

org.xfce.Session.Manager interface
 .CanHibernate method
 .CanRestart method
 .CanShutdown method
 .CanSuspend method
 .Checkpoint {s} method
 .GetInfo method
 .GetState method
 .Hibernate method
 .ListClients method
 .Logout {bb} method
 .Restart {b} method
 .Shutdown {b} method
 .Suspend method
 .ClientRegistered {s} signal
 .ShutdownCancelled signal
 .StateChanged {uu} signal

Note: all but RegisterClient methods of gnome session manager.

(Does any one know why incomplete set is exposed at all?)
