Hmmm--that tries to work--I get a default 2.27.4 Gnome session instead of the Ubuntu-centric session---not sure what's going on, I tried several different takes on the /usr/share/applications/gnome-shell.desktop file--using my .jbuildrc, pointing at my "real" build location & a couple of non-working ideas....
I'm using the default .jbuildrc & .jbuildrc-custom files--not sure what I'm doing wrong--any other ideas? Thanks for the help!!!
