<p>
EggSMClient provides 'session management' support for applications.
This means a number of things:
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">logout notification and negotiation</li>
<li class="listitem">application state saving</li>
<li class="listitem">restarting of applications with saved state</li>
</ul></div>
<p>
EggSMClient supports this functionality to varying degrees on
Windows and OS X, as well as with XSMP and D-Bus based session
managers in X11.
</p>
<p>
Starting with GTK+ 3.4, <a class="link" href="GtkApplication.html" title="GtkApplication"><span class="type">GtkApplication</span></a> supports logout notification
and negotiation similar to EggSMClient.

At this point, GtkApplication has no special support for state saving
and restarting. Applications can use GSettings or GKeyFile and save as
much state as they see fit in response to <span class="type">“shutdown”</span> or
whenever they consider appropriate.
