I have added a similar functionality recently to be able to install more than one GNOME (or other) session with gdm: - UNE is using that - gnome-stracciatella is currently converted to it
The idea is simply to take the .desktop file name exported by GDM and add it to the xdg path with something like /etc/xdg/xdg-<session filename>. For instance, I currently have: XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-gnome:/etc/xdg If I boot on my une session, I'll have: XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg/xdg-une:/etc/xdg The script keep user's xdg path if he tweaked it. It is at /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60xdg_path-on-session and is shipped on the gdm package. The drawback of that solution is that you'll have to move your conffiles to the new path /etc/xdg/xdg-<session filename>/autostart (for autostart desktop files) -- xfconf dbus service doesn't know about XDG user variables https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327926 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
