I haven't been able to find a general solution for this. The only solution I
see at the moment is to add a shell snippet to the system-wide on-login
script for each shell that sources the profile activation sript for an 'ssh
-X logon.
The following snippet works for bourn-compatible shells when added
to /etc/profile:
# testing SSH_CLIENT as the woody ssh doesn't set SSH_CONNECTION
# also testing SSH_CONNECTION as the current ssh manpage no longer mentions
# SSH_CLIENT, so it appears that variable is being phased out.
if ( ( (test -n "${SSH_CLIENT}") || (test -n "${SSH_CONNECTION}") ) && \
(test -n "${DISPLAY}") ); then
source /etc/X11/Xsession.d/20desktop-profiles_activateDesktopProfiles
fi;
this gives the following todo:
- document the bug and proposed solution in desktop-profiles README
- file bugs with the respective shells to add an profile.d dir or similar,
giving packages a policy-compliant way of adding shell snippets to the
systemwide shell-logon script.
- wait for filed bugs to be fixed and add the necessary snippets when it
becomes possible to do so.
