Actually, with systemd git this is even easier. There's the "virtual"
object path /org/freedesktop/login1/session/self which is an alias for
the session object of the client. Similar there is
/org/freedesktop/login1/user/self and /org/freedesktop/login1/seat/self.

This relieves many clients from every having to look up their own
session/seat/whatever else if they just want to execute an operation on
it.
