Oh, I replied before I completely read your email, so what I wrote
earlier essentially says the same thing that you just said.

I was meaning to send a patch that does exactly this for a while, but
never got around to do it. This is exactly what I need for my custom
nvidia setups to integrate into logind. I would be very happy to see
