A solution would be, when the shutdown/suspend/whatever appeared,

This would prevent shutting down my laptop while I was downloading
something with Deluge or editing a document with Abiword hence not
losing any work.

AIUI this is really a bug with the individual applications, which should
respond appropriately to the session manager telling them to quit. (Or
perhaps our session manager isn't sending them the right message in the
first place?)
