Well, I suppose as long as users are made aware that enabling it for
applications they aren't absolutely sure support it is a dangerous
thing to do. I don't like it, I think it's a simplification too far,
but then I'm not one of the people using it.
Maybe you can watch the video, it is less than 5
minutes long.
I did actually watch that, when it was announced.
Desktop session handler traditionally relies on X11.
The trend in
freedesktop (KDE, GNOME) is to use D-Bus as IPC instead. I'm not aware
of D-Bus desktop session manager.
GNOME is starting to use one. gnome-session switched to it in GNOME
2.24, completely breaking backward compatible session management
during that release series for lots of users, including me. Badly
done, but not intrinsically technically wrong.
In future, ladish aims to save/restore window
properties like window position, virtual desktop and screen
(multimonitor).
That does sound like a desktop session manager to me.
