so why having a 1-1 relation with each spice session?

We also need to undo the changes at some point in time, iow the
desktop-integration objects
lifetime needs to be coupled to *something*, and spice-session seems
best for this. IE,
think usage in python from virt-manager, when the vm viewing window
is closed (which does
not necessarily end the virt-manager process) we want to restore the
settings.

But we can have simultaneous Spice sessions in the same process or in the same 
desktop session..

Also, changing the user settings looks like the wrong approach. Perhaps 
something similar to screensaver Inhibit on org.gnome.SessionManager is needed?

Something like screensaver Inhibit on org.gnome.SessionManager would be ideal,
but that won't help us with RHEL-6 (gnome-2), kde / xfce / etc. Also I'm afraid
that the same may apply to the screensaver stuff (inhibit not supported
everywhere).

One possible idea would be the following:
-we add a /usr/libexec/spice-gtk-<arch>/spice-desktop-integration executable,
  which listens on a unix socket under $HOME
-that process controls disabling / enabling automount, screensaver, etc.
-one or more spice-gtk sessions can give it (un)inhibit-automount commands,
  when inhibiting the spice-gtk sessions must keep the unix socket open, closing
  it is an automatic uninhibit.
-this process gets started the first time it is needed, and exits when the
  session dbus goes away

Scrap that, having thought more about this, I'm going to use udisks inhibit 
functionality
instead. The downside of that is that it requires root rights, but we can 
integrate that
into the existing spice-client-glib-usb-acl-helper.

Ok, yet another change of plan, if David Zeuthen agrees I'm going to change 
udisks, so
that it is possible to do an inhibit which is only valid for the calling UID.

One problem with this approach is that udisks2 seems to lack inhibit 
functionality ...

And this I need to discuss with David too.

Regards,

Hans
