Hi
Running lxde-qt as my desktop I ran into a small glitch: The script
startlxde-qt runs:
lxsession -s LXDE-Qt -e LXDE
The -e switch defines name of the desktop environment, and it is stored
into the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP variable.
Now, I'm on Arch, and use stock xdg-scripts. If I run
xdg-open some-file
xdg-open decides, based on XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=LXDE, to hand over some-file
to pcmanfm, but that fails as I haven't got pcmanfm installed (I have
pcmanfm-qt).
Bottom line: I cannot, for example, open a downloaded pdf-file from my
browser.
This patch on lxde-common fixes it for me:
diff --git a/startlxde-qt.in b/startlxde-qt.in
index 4a56d8d..8b1e7e3 100755
--- a/startlxde-qt.in
+++ b/startlxde-qt.in

export XDG_MENU_PREFIX="lxde-"
# Start the LXDE session
-exec lxsession -s LXDE-Qt -e LXDE
+exec lxsession -s LXDE-Qt -e LXDE-Qt
So we get XDG_CURRENT_SESSION=LXDE-Qt instead. I hesitate to commit &&
push, though, as I'm not sure it won't break something else. Does anybody
know if this will cause problems?
(Maybe we should decide a name for this brand-new desktop :-) Soonish.
There is a risk if we use LXDE-Qt that 3rd-party tools and apps will begin
to depend on it.)
