Well the other option, which I am working on, is for each Wine process
to host all the session management code inside a winex11.drv thread
only - and send WM_[QUERY]ENDSESSION messages to its own in-process
windows. This strikes me as a better idea than using a single
Wine-global explorer thread - each process can individually name
itself to the session manager, so the user knows exactly what's
blocking shutdown.
