Package: sddm
Version: 0.13.0-1
Severity: important
So, on a stretch system with sddm, there does not appear to be any way
to tell it to launch my ~/.xsession.
Instead, it only offers plasma (since that is the only thing in
/usr/share/xsession).
I want my ~/.xsession to be used as my session command.
I did a quick look, and it appears Debian's /etc/X11/Xsession supports
that just fine, as long as the user sessions are allowed in
/etc/X11/Xsession.options (and they are by default). The thing that
calls Xsession just must not pass a session name as $1.
Please support this.
[ For now, I've done the following horrible workaround:
root@orinoco:~# cat /usr/share/xsessions/local-UserSession.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=home-xsession
DesktopNames=UserSession
Name=User Session
root@orinoco:~# cat /etc/X11/Xsession.d/02-local-allow-xsession
# We have a local /usr/share/xsessions/local-UserSession.desktop
# that sets the session command to "home-xsession". The scripts
# in /etc/X11/Xsession do ~/.xsession if no argument is passed to
# the session script, so shift it away. Eww. -- weasel 20161126
if [ "$1" = "home-xsession" ] ; then
shift
fi
