    \title Session Management
    \brief How to do session management with Qt.
    \ingroup best-practices

    A \e session is a group of running applications, each of which has a
    particular state. The session is controlled by a service called the \e
    session \e manager. The applications participating in the session are
    called \e{session clients}.

    The session manager issues commands to its clients on behalf of the
    user. These commands may cause clients to commit unsaved changes (for
    example by saving open files), to preserve their state for future
    sessions, or to terminate gracefully. The set of these operations is
    called \e session \e management.
