18           state
19
20       ·   Providing PolicyKit-based access for users to operations such as
21           system shutdown or sleep
22
23       ·   Implementing a shutdown/sleep inhibition logic for applications
24
25       ·   Handling of power/sleep hardware keys
26
27       ·   Multi-seat management
28
29       ·   Session switch management
