Dear Maintainer, I would like to propose some improvements to openbox-session
mechanism based on my experience with maintaining a simple custom desktop
enviromnent.
First, make some additions to environment vars, to beef it up closer to proper
DE level:
/etc/xdg/openbox/environment:
================
#
# Set system-wide environment variables here for Openbox
# User-specific variables should be placed in
$HOME/.config/openbox/environment
#
# set main XDG variables
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/share:/usr/share
export XDG_DATA_HOME="${HOME}/.local/share"
export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=OPENBOX
export XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=openbox
export XDG_MENU_PREFIX=openbox-
# clean DM influence
export DESKTOP_SESSION=openbox
unset GDMSESSION
# for reducing GTK stderr spam
export NO_AT_BRIDGE=1
# fix and sync Qt and GTK theming
export
GTK2_RC_FILES="${HOME}/.gtkrc-2.0:${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2
================
Second, in /usr/bin/openbox-session fix main exec line accordingly:
================
- exec /usr/bin/openbox --startup
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openbox-autostart OPENBOX" "$@"
+ exec /usr/bin/openbox --startup
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openbox-autostart ${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}" "$@"
================
I also plan to post suggestions for obsession and xss-lock packages to provide
better screensaver integration.
