The RestartData property on the org.gtk.Application interface can be used by session services to save some data to disk should the application disappear. The application would call g_application_set_restart_data() when the state of the application changes, with enough information for the application to restart itself in the same "position". FIXME: [ ] API docs [ ] note about restart data size [ ] have one example implementation of the session side One idea would be for xdg-desktop-portal to save a stringified RestartData to ~/.var/app/$ID/config/state.gvariant if none empty when the application disappears from the bus. Questions: - Can we enforce to only do this for unique applications? - Can we detect applications leaving the bus suddenly, or do we want to rely on them clearing RestartData if they're "done" (or should they always save state, *some* state) - Should we implement this via org.gnome.SessionManager.Client and the app calling out to gnome-session instead? - Or is this API fine, and gnome-session can do what xdg-desktop-portal does above?
