Does anyone here know how to detect user log off and gracefully terminate

the Gtk2 widgetset.
From this stack overflow answer it would seem there is a 'save-yourself'
sinal to notify you when the user logs off, but I don't know what the LCL
value of client might be. Could it be application handle? Is there a better
way to detect user log off on Gtk2?

I suspect this is a dbus signal.
Maybe gnome API interfaces expose an api for the signals of the session
manager. I doubt GTK handles these signals, and I don't think Lazarus uses
the Gnome signals or the Gnome API.
So I would attempt to connect to the gnome session manager using dbus.
FPC has a DBUS client component, so this should not be too hard.
I have some uncommitted example programs that may help you if you decide to
go this path.
