* a log out request doesn't destroy anything
To be honest, I log out of my personal computer once a month, at
best. Setting a modern computer to sleep switches it as off as
hardware can be off.
For all those situations where frequent log outs are required, I'd
consider it more ideal to have apps which never pop up "Save changes
before quit..."-type dialogs. They should write their stuff to
temporary files and continue at the exakt same point the next time
they are launched. This could even span sessions on different machines.
But this is a dream. For now, sensible logouts are required.
* Session management is better done by loginwindow.app than the
workspace manager
- You can quit the Mac OS X equivalent of the Workspace Manager
(the infamous "Finder")[...]
More exactly, there's a third app, the Dock, which does session
management on Mac OS X. The Dock can't be quit. The Dock handles the
Apple menu, containing items like "shutdown" and "log out", and is
responsible for launching apps. From the session management point of
view, the Finder is just one of those apps, a file manager, which
happens to be launched automatically but can be replaced by any other
file manager.
Well, we're talking so much about Mac OS X here, ... are there other
samples of well desgined session managements out in the OS world?
