<title>Migrating from EggSMClient to GtkApplication</title>

EggSMClient provides 'session management' support for applications.
|
|
This means a number of things:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>logout notification and negotiation</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>application state saving</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>restarting of applications with saved state</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
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.

|
Starting with GTK+ 3.4, #GtkApplication supports logout notification
|
|
and negotiation in the same way as EggSMClient, using the same
|
|
basic API:

At this point, GtkApplication has no special support for state saving.
|
|
Applications can use GSettings or GKeyFile and save as much state as
|
|
they see fit in response to #GtkApplication::quit or whenever they
|
|
consider appropriate.
