It works fine here without the DM setting it. Note that the variable is set, probably by something else. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1293629 Title:

Thanks, the issue is due to the DESKTOP_SESSION - XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP change. kdm exports the first variable but not the second one, it makes the upstart job bail out on Unknown parameter: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP We either need to revert to use DESKTOP_SESSION back or to fix kdm (and potential other
