Autosave D-BUS message?

[Sean Meiners]

We (Linspire) are actually planning on having the hibernation scripts generate 
a signal on the system bus that announces that the system is going to sleep.  
This way any application who cares (we had only thought of network apps like 
Gaim & Mozilla so far) can 'prepare' themselves properly.  I wasn't planing 
on hashing out the details for some time yet, but since is looks like we're 
not the only ones thinking about this it would make sence to lay out the 
object/path/signal(s) now so that we're all compatible.
