X-Spam-Level:
Package: desktop-profiles
Version: 1.4.5
Severity: important
After installing desktop-profiles and agreeing to let it take over my
gconf path settings, I found that my next login was badly broken
because the Xsession script couldn't create files in the nonexistent
directory /var/cache/desktop-profiles. I was able to resolve that by
creating it with permissions rwxrwxrwt and restarting gconf, but that
should not have been necessary.
I seriously question the wisdom of using predictable names in a
directory that presumably needs to be world-writable (even if sticky)
anyway, as it allows users to set traps for other users who have not
yet logged in. Given that gconf can expand $(HOME) as well as
$(USER), why not instead work with a directory under $HOME? You could
call it .desktop-profiles or something, and should have permission to
create it before trying to work with it if it doesn't yet exist (most
commonly on the first login after installing d-p).
Also, it's not wise to rely on anything getting installed into
/usr/share/doc, even for an instant; you should move any files your
code relies on finding there to some other location, such as
/usr/share/desktop-profiles, per Policy 12.3:
Packages must not require the existence of any files in
`/usr/share/doc/' in order to function [1]. Any files that are
referenced by programs but are also useful as standalone documentation
should be installed under `/usr/share/<package>/' with symbolic links
from `/usr/share/doc/<package>'.

2. Plain-text mail recommended since I move html and double
format mails to a low priority folder (they're mainly spam)
