Package: gdm3
Version: 3.22.1-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Hello.
I have both Gnome 3.22.x and Cinnamon installed. When logging in using
GDM3 with Gnome specifically enabled, both Nautilas and Nemo are
activated to manage my desktop, resulting in double overlapping icons.
Once I forcequit Nemo, all is well.

Version: 3.4.6-1
Hi,
back then the nemo process itself also managed the desktop whenever it
was started, unless it was run with -n, and its D-Bus services
(org.freedesktop.FileManager1, org.Nemo) started it without that option.
So any D-Bus activation of nemo in a GNOME session was enough to make it
draw the desktop icons, regardless of nemo-autostart.desktop.
Since nemo 3.4.0 the desktop is handled by a separate program,
nemo-desktop, which is only started by nemo-autostart.desktop
(OnlyShowIn=X-Cinnamon), and the nemo process no longer touches the
desktop. I'm therefore closing this bug with the first Debian version
that has that change.
Thanks,
Fabio
