> Have you got both gnome-shell and budgie-desktop as sessions? I do, and I suspect that's the reason why it breaks. gnome-session now starts components through systemd, one of which is /usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-shell-x11.service. This unit starts gnome-shell regardless of whether org.gnome.Shell is specified in the session file (/usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/). Ultimately this is a bug in GNOME (and I should probably report it as such), but this is a quick workaround without much impact, while the bug in GNOME is not easy to fix and probably requires upstream involvement. > Are you using GDM3 for your login manager or lightdm login manager? I've tested this with lightdm, but any display manager should exhibit this behaviour, since it concerns /usr/bin/budgie-desktop, which is specified in the session file (/usr/share/xsessions/budgie-desktop.desktop). > thanks > > On Wed, 9 Oct 2019 at 23:24, Willem Mulder <will...@scintilla.utwente.nl> wrote: > [...]
