I have no idea -- the old protocol is called XSMP (X Session Manager
Protocol) and as a last fallback kupfer tries to find the python
module "gnome" which will speak that protocol. Note the irony in that
we use a 'gnome' module (this is a long-deprecated thing) for
cross-desktop support. I don't know at the moment which desktops use
this protocol at all, but it seems it is being migrated away from.

As a first priority, Kupfer tries to connect to
org.gnome.SessionManager over D-Bus and then tries
org.xfce.SessionManager. That's all that's implemented at this time.
