We should simply support session managers

We kind of do, we handle SIGTERM and shutdown cleanly when received. In the usual case, the 10 seconds or whatever that shutdown gives, should be enough time to save everything and finish closing. I think on modern systemd systems, it additionally sends SIGHUP and gives 90 seconds by default[citation needed], which would should be lots of time for network shares and such, even with a slow link. If this code isn't working, we should probably fix that first.

It's GTK3-only isn't it?

AFAIK it is.

GTK3 only is fine IMO.

It is not. GTK+2 is still the runtime used for Windows, Macos, and by default for the source release. Given that it would probably require fairly invasive changes to some of the code, I don't think it would be the kind of thing we want to guard-out using #ifdef stuff all over the place for GTK+2. I could be wrong though, maybe it would be simple enough to abstract it out with a our own GeanyApplication class that can adapt to the GTK+ version.

Does it support multiple instances? I think it doesn't, at least not by default

If you mean independent processes, you could probably get it to do that, but I believe the main operating mode is that it supports multiple main/top-level windows, which in well encapsulated code bases is effectively the same thing (minus the process isolation).

People might also get annoyed by adding a dependency on DBUS, and AFAIK it isn't well supported and is effectively disabled for GtkApplication for Windows.
