kdm at least relied in part on it.
Since X is providing the API it should also provide a
sample implementation of it. This sample implementation may
be useful for new implementation to avoid errors that we

I've seen at least one new implementation of session mamagement
which introduced exactly the same problems I had fixed in
xdm long ago.
