X11 Session Management shared library for coordinating application state across X sessions.
Why you might care
Primary build dependency for X11-based desktop environments and window managers that need to handle session persistence and shutdown protocols. Most developers won't use this directly—it's a foundational X.Org library pulled in by higher-level desktop software like window managers or session managers.
