+Subject: [PATCH] endSessionDialog: Don't emit 'closed' until handler is
+ connected
+
+Prior to commit 7bd98f3f5fb7e0d1220646b8a4ee7073534a8e8f animation
+onComplete handlers always occured at least after one main loop
+iteration.
+
+Now, if animations are disabled, they can get invoked immediately.
+
+That breaks the endSessionDialog button handler, which calls
+close before setting up the "closed" signal handler.
+
+This commit fixes the handler to get set up first.
