Package: seahorse-plugins
Version: 2.28.1-2
Severity: important
I recently switched from running GNOME to running xfce4 instead, and
when I did so I found that my email program no longer brought up the
nice, graphical prompt for my GPG passphrase, (nor remembered it from
one email to the next).
I tracked the bug down to the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60seahorse
which says:
if [ -n "$GNOMERC" ] && [ -x $SEAHORSE ] && [ -z "$GPG_AGENT_INFO" ]; then
STARTUP="$SEAHORSE --execute $STARTUP"
fi
To workaround this for now, I kludged things by adding another file in
the same directory (55xfce) that simply does:
# Set GNOMERC so that we get seahorse within an XFCE session
GNOMERC=1
With this, seahorse and my email program now work exactly as I want.
Obviously my kludge involves a lie, so that's not desireable. A proper
fix would be to simply start seahorse in any X session for which
everything it requires is available. Is that a matter of simply
removing the '[ -n "$GNOMERC" ]' from the above?
Or is there some capability that both GNOME and xfce4 are providing
(that perhaps some other session would not) that should be checked for?
