Summary: detectDE should check DESKTOP_SESSION
Product: Portland
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: xdg-utils
AssignedTo: portland-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
ReportedBy: thestig@google.com
On newer version of Gnome, we have GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=this-is-deprecated.
I've been told it's going away in favor of DESKTOP_SESSION, so we should
probably check that first before falling back to checking
GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID / KDE_FULL_SESSION.
This variable is set by gdm/kdm. The current version of gdm on Ubuntu 8.04/9.04
may set this to "default", which does not help us determine which desktop is
currently running. When I filed a bug with gdm, they said it should be fixed in
newer version of gdm, and also suggested looking in ~/.dmrc. [1]
