Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.8.4-5
Tags: patch
Hi,
This package Depends on gdm3, I assume because it interacts with it in
intimate ways (switch user button?).
However, it seems that even if gdm3 might be a better choice for GNOME
users, gnome-shell is still usable without. I force-uninstalled gdm3
and then performed a pair of tests:
1- I tried to run gnome-session directly from xinit, a GNOME session
started. However, I couldn't find any way to logout. I'm not familiar
with the GNOME UI, so unless I missed something I assume that running it
from xinit is not supported and a display manager is required.
2- Then I tried to start a GNOME session in lightdm. In this case, I found
the logout button, and verified that it works correctly. I didn't find
anything broken in the UI, though I admit that I didn't know what to look
for. I just clicked through the menus and finally clicked the logout
button to end the session.
Unless I've missed something, step 2 shows that gnome-shell is usable without
gdm3. If that is so, please consider relaxing the Dependency so that virtual
package "x-display-manager" is also accepted.
