Note that the session stuff isn't complete yet. We kinda wait for kdbus
there, to make it complete, and kdbus is currently stalling on
memfd. And memfd is currently on its way in...

app or desktop code. X11 has aleady been updated to use it, you should
not have to call it unless you implement your own display server.
