Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
I use the Xmonad window manager. I have it configured to run by
specifying it in the GConf setting
/desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager. This causes
XMonad to be used as the window manager by gnome-wm, which is specified
in /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/classic-gnome.session, which is
referenced by /usr/share/xsessions/gnome-classic.desktop.
With a recent upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04, attempting to log into a "Classic
Ubuntu" session (in order to use gnome-wm and thus XMonad as the window
manager) silently fails over to "2d-gnome.session" which uses Metacity.
I expect this is due to the line in classic-gnome.session:
IsRunnableHelper=/usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test --compiz
I do not have /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test installed on my system, so
this test fails.
I think this unity-support-test is inappropriate when gnome-wm might be
configured to launch any other configured window manager.
Regardless of that, if the executable specified by Required-
windowmanager exists, but IsRunnableHelper does not, the constraint
should be skipped. In other words, it should pass and not trigger
fallback to a different session.
