The master client is an object that is automatically created by
gnome_init.  It represents the main connection to the session manager.

Your problem is that gnome_client_request_save sends a message over
a network connection to the session manager.  So, you have to enter
the main loop for this processing to happen.

See the `save-session' program for an example:
