Ok, I wrote gnexit.c:

#include <gnome.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {

  /* Initialize GNOME */
  gnome_init("gnexit", "0.1", argc, argv);

  /* check connection to session manager */
  if (GNOME_CLIENT_CONNECTED(gnome_master_client()))
    printf("Client is connected\n");

  /* try to exit gnome */
  printf("Exiting gnome... maybe\n");
  gnome_client_request_save (gnome_master_client(), GNOME_SAVE_BOTH,
TRUE,
                             GNOME_INTERACT_ANY, 0, 1);

  return 0;

}

Does not work. Digging a bit deeper in the library documentation
(especially GnomeClient docs
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/libgnomeui/gnomeclient.html) gives me
the idea that gnome_master_client does not point to a "global gnome
client", but to the current application itself. But I still don't get
why in gnome-core/gsm/save.c gnome_client_request_save(...) works.
