Since you obviously understand this stuff much better than > me, does that sound like a reasonable response? To explain this in a bit more detail. Packages can configure to automatically start programs. This is done by placing files in /etc/xdg/autostart. Obviously you sometimes only want to start an application under a certain desktop environment. Or maybe multiple. To do that, you can have a header like: OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity; Which tells GNOME it should be started. This header is currently in cinnamon-screensaver.desktop. What's wrong is that Cinnamon has GNOME there. They should specify Cinnamon and listen to that. His answer is basically: - instead of Cinnamon just listening to: OnlyShowIn=Cinnamon - GNOME should be patched to specifically ignore cinnamon-screensaver.desktop and then patched again whenever Cinnamon adds more desktop files. In any case, that is not a solution at all. It just works around things, badly. Note that a lot of Cinnamon components will now start in GNOME due to this bug. I've added a more brief comment to Bugzilla. -- Regards, Olav -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
