Dear Ulrich and developers
Thank you for your reply. So as discussed option a) connecting with "Custom Desktop" will start a NEW session and results in permission prompts, which are not the case with option b.
Most users I believe would like to feel as if they are sitting in front of their machine, hence this behaviour undermines this goal.

Any idea how a user could still connect with  "Custom Desktop" Command: MATE, but solve the privilige issues?
Thanks

Well, I think I need to clarify something here:
a) connecting with "Custom Desktop" will start a NEW session.
b) connecting with "local desktop" will _connect_ to the running
X-Server (usually :0) which is slower due to the way it works.

According to your description it works with type b) but not with a). I
think in a session a) type you need to the environment to enable
access the type b) session running in parallel.

Unfortunately I do not have the environment available to test this in detail.

We have several mailing lists. As we are constantly struggling with
(human) resources there are no plans to add a forum. As far as I can
see most of the administrating members prefer mailing lists over
clumsy web forums anyway.
