XfceSMClient is a session management client that speaks the X Session Management Protocol (XSMP). It's designed to be easy to use and hide some of the more esoteric feaures of XSMP from the API user.
GOptionGroup * xfce_sm_client_get_option_group (gint argc
,gchar **argv
);
Constructs a GOptionGroup suitable for use with Glib's command-line option parser.
This function is a bit sneaky in that it will make a copy of
the program's argc and argv before GTK+ etc.
has a chance to mess around with it, so XfceSMClient can later
construct an accurate restart command. Instead of calling
gtk_init()
or gtk_init_with_args()
, instead you'd do something
like:
1 2 3 4 |
GOptionContext *context = g_option_context_new(""); g_option_context_add_group(context, gtk_get_option_group(TRUE)); g_option_context_add_group(context, xfce_sm_client_get_option_group(argc, argv); g_option_context_parse(context, &argc, &argv, NULL); |
Error checking is omitted here for brevity, and of course you could
add your app's own options with g_option_context_add_main_entries()
or similar.
XfceSMClient *
xfce_sm_client_get (void
);
Gets the application's SM client instance. This is best
used with xfce_sm_client_get_option_group()
above (and using
the returned GOptionGroup with g_option_context_parse()
), as the
command line parsing will figure out many of the SM client's
required property values for you.
If you have already created an XfceSMClient instance using this function, this will return the same instance, i.e. you should *only* unref the first instance.
[constructor]
A new XfceSMClient instance -transfer full- on the first call only, other calls to this function are transfer none
XfceSMClient * xfce_sm_client_get_with_argv (gint argc
,gchar **argv
,XfceSMClientRestartStyle restart_style
,guchar priority
);
Creates a new XfceSMClient instance. It attempts to
set all required properties using the app's command line.
Note that this function does not actually connect to the session
manager, so other actions can be taken (such as setting custom
properties or connecting signals) before calling
xfce_sm_client_connect()
.
If you are using Gtk or Glib's command-line option parser,
it is recommended that you use xfce_sm_client_get_option_group()
and xfce_sm_client_get()
instead.
[constructor]
XfceSMClient * xfce_sm_client_get_full (XfceSMClientRestartStyle restart_style
,guchar priority
,const gchar *resumed_client_id
,const gchar *current_directory
,const gchar **restart_command
,const gchar *desktop_file
);
Creates a new SM client instance, allowing the application
fine-grained control over the initial properties set.
Note that this function does not actually connect to the session
manager, so other actions can be taken (such as setting custom
properties or connecting signals) before calling
xfce_sm_client_connect()
.
It is recommended to use xfce_sm_client_get_with_argv()
, or,
if you are using Gtk or Glib's command-line option parser,
xfce_sm_client_get_option_group()
and xfce_sm_client_get()
instead.

gboolean xfce_sm_client_connect (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,GError **error
);
Attempts to connect to the session manager.
void
xfce_sm_client_disconnect (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Disconnects the application from the session manager.
This may not remove the application from the saved session (if any) if the user later does not choose to save the session when logging out.
gboolean
xfce_sm_client_is_connected (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Determines whether or not the application has connected to the session manager.
gboolean
xfce_sm_client_is_resumed (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Determines whether the application was resumed from a previous session, or if the application has been started fresh with no state information associated with it.
void xfce_sm_client_set_desktop_file (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,const gchar *desktop_file
);
Sets the application's .desktop file. In addition to informing
the session manager of the .desktop file so it can present localized
names and an icon in session listings and the splash screen, this
also calls g_set_application_name()
and
gtk_window_set_default_icon_name()
(or
gtk_window_set_default_icon_from_file()
) if the Name and Icon
keys are present, respectively.
If a relative path to the file is provided, this function will search the standard application directories as specified by the
XDG Desktop Menu Specification.void xfce_sm_client_request_shutdown (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,XfceSMClientShutdownHint shutdown_hint
);
Sends a request to the session manager to end the session.
Depending on hint
, the session manager may prompt for a
certain action (log out, halt, reboot, etc.) or may take the
requested action without user intervention.
The session manager may or may not support all requested actions, and is also free to ignore the requested action.
const gchar *
xfce_sm_client_get_client_id (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Retrieves the session client's unique ID. This ID can be used to construct a filename used to restore the application's state. Note that this value is only guaranteed to be valid if connected to the session manager.
Instead of constructing a state filename, it is
recommended to use xfce_sm_client_get_state_file()
.
const gchar *
xfce_sm_client_get_state_file (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Constructs a filename that can be used to restore or save state information.
When saving state, ote that this file may already exist (and may have been used for saving previous state for the application), so the application should first remove or empty the file if it requires a fresh state file.
On the next application start, this function can be used to check to see if there is any previous saved state, and, if so, the state can be restored from the file.
This function will use a standard location and naming scheme and handle state cleanup (setting of the discard command) for you.
Before calling this function, the application must have a
valid client ID (see xfce_sm_client_get_client_id()
).
const gchar *
xfce_sm_client_get_current_directory (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Retrieves the session client's working directory. See
xfce_sm_client_set_current_directory()
for more information.
void xfce_sm_client_set_current_directory (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,const gchar *current_directory
);
Sets the startup working directory of sm_client
to
current_directory
. If unset, defaults to the user's
home directory.
guint8
xfce_sm_client_get_priority (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Retrieves the session client's restart priority. See
xfce_sm_client_set_priority()
for more information.
void xfce_sm_client_set_priority (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,guint8 priority
);
Sets the startup priority for sm_client
to priority
. Note
that the default priority for applications is 50; lower values
should be reserved for components of the desktop environment.
const gchar * const *
xfce_sm_client_get_restart_command (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Retrieves the session client's restart command. See
xfce_sm_client_set_restart_command()
for more information.
void xfce_sm_client_set_restart_command (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,gchar **restart_command
);
Sets the application's "restart" command, which is used to restart the application and restore any saved state from the previous run.
If unset, defaults to the command used to start this instance of the application, with session management related arguments added (if not already present).
XfceSMClientRestartStyle
xfce_sm_client_get_restart_style (XfceSMClient *sm_client
);
Retrieves the session client's restart style. See
xfce_sm_client_set_restart_style()
for more information.
void xfce_sm_client_set_restart_style (XfceSMClient *sm_client
,XfceSMClientRestartStyle restart_style
);
Sets the restart style hint to restart_style
.
Some sample priority values for use with xfce_sm_client_set_priority()

“quit”
signalvoid user_function (XfceSMClient *sm_client, gpointer user_data)
Emitted when the application is required to quit. This is not
optional: if the client does not quit a short time after receiving
this signal, it will likely be terminated in some other way. While
not required, the application will usually receive quit-requested
before receiving quit. If the application does not connect to this
signal, XfceSMClient will call exit(3)
with
an exit code of zero on behalf of the application.
Flags: Run Last
“quit-cancelled”
signalvoid user_function (XfceSMClient *sm_client, gpointer user_data)
Informs the application that it will not need to quit. In most cases, quit-cancelled will be emitted a short time after quit-requested.
Flags: Run Last
“quit-requested”
signalgboolean user_function (XfceSMClient *sm_client, gpointer user_data)
Signals the client that the session manager will soon want the application to quit, perhaps as a part of ending the session (but this should not be assumed). The application can take this opportunity to prompt the user to save any unsaved work to disk.
This signal also expects a return value from the handler. If the
application wishes to cancel the quit request (perhaps because the
user selected "Cancel" in prompts to save unsaved work), it should
return TRUE
from the handler. If the application is satisfied
with possibly needing to quit soon, the handler should return FALSE
.
Flags: Run Last
“save-state”
signalvoid user_function (XfceSMClient *sm_client, gpointer user_data)
Signals the client that it should save a copy of its current state such that it could be restarted later in exactly the same state as it is at the time of signal emission.
If the state is simple enough to be encoded in the application's
command line, xfce_sm_client_set_restart_command()
can be used
to set that command line. For more complex state data,
xfce_sm_client_get_state_file()
should be used.
The application should attempt to save its state as quickly as possible, and MUST NOT interact with the user as a part of saving state.
Flags: Run Last
“save-state-extended”
signalvoid user_function (XfceSMClient *sm_client, gpointer user_data)
Allows the application to save extra state information after all other applications in the session have had a chance to save their state. This is mainly used by the window manager to save window positions. Most applications should not need to connect to this signal.
Flags: Run Last
