Public bug reported:

# Context

Running xfce4-settings-manager as user from a terminal to set gtk-
greeter parameters.

## Expected

No output in terminal.

## Observed

This output in terminal:

/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec: 7: 
/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec: [[: not found
/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec: 7: 
/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec: [[: not found


/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings-pkexec
uses bash-specific syntax but calls /bin/sh which enables sh-only mode.

In practice it means that special handling of "-s=" and "--socket-id="
arguments is not performed.

I don't know if this may be the sign of more bugs.

The script itself is very short, here it is:

#!/bin/sh

APP_PATH="/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings"

# Check for "socket" argument
for i in "$@"; do
  if [[ "$i" == "-s="* ]] || [[ "$i" == "--socket-id="* ]]; then
    pkexec "${APP_PATH}" "$@" || "${APP_PATH}" "$@"
    exit $?
  fi
done

pkexec "${APP_PATH}" "$@"


Thank you for your attention.
