Basically, the signed in state depends on a browser cookie, which is set
when you log in via the website, and deleted when you log out.  The
desktop-data-engine scans for that cookie to initially sign in to the
server.  However, it doesn't notice when it goes away after you've
logged out of the website.

Yep, you can connect to the data model and wait for the ready signal.
See the file "online-desktop/pyddm/test-session.py" for an example in
Python.  For C there is "desktop-data-model/ddm/test-ddm.c".
