Hello folks,
Today I wanted to customize the logout screen of my LXDE installation.
So I did some research:
in ~/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/panel are two ways to logout. The
first one is part of the menu
> Plugin { type=menu Config { [...] item { image=gnome-logout
> *command=logout* } } }
and the second one is the shutdown/logout-button at the panel's far
right end. It is a link to a .desktop file
> Plugin { type=launchbar Config { Button { *id=lxde-logout.desktop*
> } } }
so "find / -type f -name lxde-logout.desktop" reveals this file is to
no surprise in
/usr/share/applications/lxde-logout.desktop
and it does:
> *Exec=lxde-logout*
Additionally in
~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/deskopt.conf
there is another command:
> quit_manager/command=lxsession-logout
But changing this value didn't change anything.
I changed the Exec entry of
/usr/share/applications/lxde-logout.desktop to something like:
> Exec=lxsession-logout --prompt "foo" --banner /bar.png --side left
as the manpages suggested. It had no effect when I try to logout with
the logout button in the menu. But it did have the expected result
when I used panel's far right logout button.
Also additionally there is a global lxde-logout command
$ which lxde-logout
/usr/bin/lxde-logout
which is just a scipt that executes lxsession-logout
So calling lxde-logout does a different thing as lxde-logout.desktop does
So my question is: Are these three used commands
"logout, lxde-logout.desktop, lxsession-logout" interchangeable?
Is it safe to change the button that appears in the menu to do the
same as the panel's far right button does and link it to this .desktop
file.
Is there a better, safer, recommended way to change this behavior
without breaking something?
And just because I'm curious: How come there are different scripts and
applications that essentially are meant to do the same thing; but have
different methods of configuration? Are there plans to merge these and
make this process more straightforward?
Many kind regards and thanks for your input,
ubsy
