So the idea is that gnome-session holds the per-session
org.freedesktop.SessionManagement service with methods:

Logout (boolean interactive)
Shutdown (boolean interactive)
Restart (boolean interactive)

And also provides a method for applications to register a callback for,
something like:

Register(void)

User tells gnome-session (or KDE equiv...) to reboot. Assuming okay,
then tells (system) GDM to notify other sessions, and then do the reboot
using HAL.

Cracktastic?

Richard.
