Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-4
Severity: normal
>From daemon/slave.c:
/*
* Install GDM desktop files to a non-default desktop file
* location (/usr/share/gdm/applications) and GDM appends
* this directory to the end of the XDG_DATA_DIR environment
* variable. This way, GDM menu choices never appear if
* using a different display manager.
*/
{
char *new_system_data_dirs;
new_system_data_dirs = g_build_path (":",
old_system_data_dirs, DATADIR "/gdm/", NULL);
g_setenv ("XDG_DATA_DIRS", new_system_data_dirs, TRUE);
g_free (new_system_data_dirs);
}
This is intended to give you "launch a new login with gdmflexiserver" menu
items in your desktop environment iff you log in through GDM. But the Debian
package of gdm doesn't install any .desktop files to
/usr/share/gdm/applications; they're all in /usr/share/applications. So every
application which searches XDG_DATA_DIRS searches gdm's directory for no
benefit to anyone.
I guess that either the package should install the .desktop files under
/usr/share/gdm/applications, or this should be patched out?
