That sounds rather hazardous to me. To lose all of one's data instead
of saving it, after a potentially long session's work, because of a
check box incorrectly checked when starting the session, surely
wouldn't please many users?

I think I must have misunderstood the use of D-BUS here, then. I had
thought that LADI was a D-BUS service which the application connected
to, so that LADI would know whether an application was running in a
"LADI-aware" state or not.
