so jreznik and I were testing a bit today, and found a few buglets already:

'use previous session' seems not to work (at least in kde greeter)

restart doesn't work.  if currently in kde, it at least ends your 
session.  either way, seems to try to do something, but then gets stuck.

shutdown (at login screen) does nothing.  in session, seems ok.
