Public bug reported: This patch does bad thing - it will overwrite XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP if it was set before.
There is new standard - DesktopNames that is used to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP. LightDM will set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP if DesktopNames has been added in session .desktop file. But it will be overwritten by GNOME if gnome-session will not find DesktopName in .session file. Fix should be simple - set to default value - GNOME - only if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is not set. This probably should be fixed in vivid and utopic. ** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385944 Title: 52_xdg_current_desktop.patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/1385944/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
