Package: x2goserver Version: 4.1.0.0-0~1215~ubuntu14.04.1 Severity: wishlist
Hi,
In Ubuntu before 15.04, and Debian jessie, the DESKTOP_SESSION for GNOME Flashback is actually "gnome-fallback". In particular, this name is found in /etc/upstart-xsessions while "gnome-flashback" is not, which prevents Upstart user sessions from being enabled. ("gnome-session --session=gnome-flashback is still the correct command, though.)
Furthermore, recent (Ubuntu >= 13.10, Debian jessie) login managers also export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP using the value of the DesktopNames field from the session file. This variable is starting to gain wide use by applications that care about the desktop environment they run under.
I can write a patch that adds all this information to x2goruncommand in the existing format. However it occurs to me that it might make more sense to parse the files in /usr/share/xsessions and use the information directly instead of duplicating it. Please let me know which you'd prefer to see.
