Package: gnome-session Version: 3.4.2.1-3 Severity: normal Hi,
I try to use Cairo-dock instead of Gnome-shell. For this cairo-dock provides packages that allows a Gnome + Cairo-dock session. These packages work with Ubuntu. I discuss the problem with the developer of Cairo-dock at this address http://glx-dock.org/bg_topic.php?t=6131 (in french), it seems there is a problem with Debian gnome-session package. The first problem is that the command "Exec=" of file "/usr/share/xsessions/*.desktop" does not support the commands with arguments. The "cairo-dock.desktop" file contains the line "Exec=gnome-session --session=cairo-dock". It does not work with Debian Testing, but works well with Ubuntu. To work around the bug, I wrote a small shell script that contains the line "gnome-session --session=cairo-dock" and in the "Exec=" line I replaced the call to gnome-session by a call shell script. With this, the session starts well but cairo-dock is not running, even if it appears in gnome-session-properties. For cairo-dock is started and running properly, I have to start it manually from a shell. I put the following file in the folder "~/.config/autostart/" but cairo-dock is not running. $ cat cairo-dock.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Cairo-Dock (Gnome + Effects) Comment=This session logs you into GNOME with Cairo-Dock and with graphical effects.
