When I started my computer today, I found out that the patch causes a segfault during the gnome session startup, so X wouldn't come up. I've attached a fixed patch. Another note is that the patch doesn't work for the initial instance of gnome-shell. I'd guess that's because the "_" environment variable isn't set during the session startup. The patch should probably read the executable from /proc/self/cmdline rather than the "_" environment variable. I can do that change if necessary, but given that "gnome-shell --replace" works for getting the log anyway, maybe the whole patch is unnecessary. -- Tanu -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
