If somebody wants to add that to CK then that is fine. However, I do
believe the right place for this is actually systemd, since we can
safely bind the per-user systemd instance, the dbus user bus, the
existance of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to the kernel cgroup that makes up the
session. With all that in place we will have definition of a session
that transcends all layers of our stack.

Also note that systemd already does a lot of the stuff CK does, and I
became CK maintainer precisely for the reason to merge CK's
functionality into systemd in one way or another.
