From: Victor Toso <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> It is possible that g_get_user_special_dir() return NULL for G_USER_DIRECTORY_DESKTOP or G_USER_DIRECTORY_DOWNLOAD; This is a sure thing to happen in case xdg-user-dirs hasn't been run yet. Keeping spice-vdagent to run on Initialization stage of X-GNOME-Autostart-Phase could trigger a race with xdg-user-dirs that also runs on Initialization, which is the earliest stage possible. The vd_agent has no real need to run so early and could be moved to a later stage, such as Desktop (4th out of 5). Tested in Fedora 28, without any apparent drawbacks.
