Check the archives of xdg-list freedesktop org, specifically this thread:
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xdg-list/2001-November/000192.html
This tells you the arguments that _should_ be passed to
RequestSaveYourself, you have to read the whole thread to find the end
conclusion that we reached.
Matthias's mail here:
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xdg-list/2001-November/000200.html
And me agreeing and phrasing it differently here:
https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/xdg-list/2001-December/000201.html
To quote what I said:
Local = a)
Global = b)
Both = c)
See the mail for what a/b/c are.
But you should be able to just copy what the current logout dialog
does, right? I'm not sure what you are having problems with, as far as
just moving the functionality, since you could just copy the existing
code.
The existing code doesn't do quite what Matthias and I agreed to do
though.
