Package: gnome-volume-manager
Version: 2.24.1-4
File: gnome-volume-manager
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


for some reason (maybe dependency changes in GNOME and HAL removal?)
`gnome-volume-manager` was removed from my system a long time ago(?) but
it is still configured.

        $ aptitude search gnome-volume-manager
        c   gnome-volume-manager            - GNOME daemon to auto-mount and 
manage medi

That is all fine since packages are not purged by default. The only
problem is that the XDG desktop file is still present

        $ dpkg -S gnome-volume-manager.desktop
        gnome-volume-manager: /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop
        $ ls /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop
        /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop

causing `gnome-session` to throw a warning.

        $ grep volume ~/.xsession-errors
        gnome-session[2882]: WARNING: Could not launch application 
'gnome-volume-manager.desktop': Unable to start application: Kindprozess 
»/usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager« konnte nicht ausgeführt 
werden (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)

This is because `gnome-session` tries to autostart `gnome-volume-manager` which 
is of course not available anymore.

        $ grep lib /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-volume-manager.desktop
        Exec=/usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable

So could the XDG desktop file also be removed when the package is removed?


Thanks,

Paul
