The use case I mentioned earlier in the thread: beaing able to ask CK
for all existing session buses and say try to send a critical message
to all active notification-daemons (say, "machine will reboot it 2hrs"
or "maintenance mode, some services will be down") or just those
belonging to members of some specific admin group ("warning, printing
spool seems stuck"). It would be more or less trivial to implement if
CK could provide such information (protected by some PolicyKit policy)
and I believe such information really belongs to ConsoleKit as it is
*the* session tracking service.
