Description

Login sessions, users, and seats can be tracked for desktop and system components that need session awareness. It is useful on systems that still rely on ConsoleKit-style session management instead of newer logind-based integration.

Session frameworks influence permissions, device access, and desktop behavior. Changing them can affect login, suspend, removable devices, and multi-seat setups.

How to run
