Title: Support XDG DesktopNames field in session files Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager 1.10 series: Fix Committed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” source package in Trusty: New Status in “lightdm” source package in Utopic: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] LightDM doesn't support the XDG standard "DesktopNames" field in session .desktop files. Instead we only support X-LightDM-DesktopName which was used before the standard was set. Newer sessions might expect DesktopNames to work. [Test Case] 1. Install a session which has DesktopNames set in /usr/share/xsessions/name.desktop. i.e. DesktopNames=GNOME;Unity; 2. Start this session Expected result: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is set to GNOME:Unity Observed result: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not set [Regression Potential] Low. This feature is only activated if the field is set.
