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. Moving to spice-vdagent to run WindowManager stage avoids the race with xdg-user-dirs and still runs before any graphical application. Tested also moving to Desktop stage, which is 4th stage (out of 5) and worked without apparent drawbacks.
