Package: gnome-session Version: 2.26.2-1 Hello,
I am using shared home directories on a group of machines. For some reasons (screen sizes, typical usage) I want to have individual sessions for each machine. The simplest way I found was to have an .Xsession file with the following content: exec gnome-session --choose-session `echo -n \`hostname\`` With this version however the --choose-session option is gone with no clear upgrade path. This has two effects: - gnome-session and X via startx does not start at all, leaving no direct trace to the --choose-session option anywhere. IMHO this change should be made clearer, at least in a file in /usr/share/doc/gnome-session/ A very obcure thing to debug, IMHO impossible for mere users. Thus, the upgrade breaks previously running systems without notice. - I have no idea and found no information on how to convert my old sessions from .gnome2/session into the new format. Internet search does not really help here. If this bug report does not help neither, I have to consider that this upgrade caused a loss of user data. If there is a procedure (script would be fine), it could be mentioned in /usr/share/doc/gnome-session/upgrade or the like. Bye, Joerg
