\class QSessionManager
\brief The QSessionManager class provides access to the session manager.
\inmodule QtWidgets
A session manager in a desktop environment (in which Qt GUI applications
live) keeps track of a session, which is a group of running applications,
each of which has a particular state. The state of an application contains
(most notably) the documents the application has open and the position and
size of its windows.
The session manager is used to save the session, e.g., when the machine is
shut down, and to restore a session, e.g., when the machine is started up.
We recommend that you use QSettings to save an application's settings,
for example, window positions, recently used files, etc. When the
application is restarted by the session manager, you can restore the
settings.
QSessionManager provides an interface between the application and the
session manager so that the program can work well with the session manager.
In Qt, session management requests for action are handled by the two
virtual functions QApplication::commitData() and QApplication::saveState().
Both provide a reference to a session manager object as argument, to allow
the application to communicate with the session manager. The session
manager can only be accessed through these functions.
No user interaction is possible \e unless the application gets explicit
permission from the session manager. You ask for permission by calling
allowsInteraction() or, if it is really urgent, allowsErrorInteraction().
Qt does not enforce this, but the session manager may.
You can try to abort the shutdown process by calling cancel(). The default
commitData() function does this if some top-level window rejected its
closeEvent().
For sophisticated session managers provided on Unix/X11, QSessionManager
offers further possibilities to fine-tune an application's session
management behavior: setRestartCommand(), setDiscardCommand(),
setRestartHint(), setProperty(), requestPhase2(). See the respective
function descriptions for further details.

/*! \enum QSessionManager::RestartHint
This enum type defines the circumstances under which this application wants
to be restarted by the session manager. The current values are:
\value RestartIfRunning If the application is still running when the
session is shut down, it wants to be restarted
at the start of the next session.
\value RestartAnyway The application wants to be started at the
start of the next session, no matter what.
(This is useful for utilities that run just
after startup and then quit.)
\value RestartImmediately The application wants to be started immediately
whenever it is not running.
\value RestartNever The application does not want to be restarted
automatically.
The default hint is \c RestartIfRunning.

Asks the session manager for permission to interact with the user. Returns
true if interaction is permitted; otherwise returns false.
The rationale behind this mechanism is to make it possible to synchronize
user interaction during a shutdown. Advanced session managers may ask all
applications simultaneously to commit their data, resulting in a much
faster shutdown.
When the interaction is completed we strongly recommend releasing the user
interaction semaphore with a call to release(). This way, other
applications may get the chance to interact with the user while your
application is still busy saving data. (The semaphore is implicitly
released when the application exits.)
If the user decides to cancel the shutdown process during the interaction
phase, you must tell the session manager that this has happened by calling
cancel().
Here's an example of how an application's QApplication::commitData() might
be implemented:
