This doesn't seem like it's getting any traction after 2 years and kdm
is not even shipped anymore so as reporter i'm closing this bug to have
a cleaner "reported bugs" view in launchpad.

I haven't found out how to set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP from mdm (Linux
Mint's fork of older gdm), so then when attempting to login to Gnome-
Shell I am greeted with a black screen. However, doing this is a
workaround (but still leaves XDG_CURRENT_DESTKOP unset):
in /usr/share/upstart/sessions/gnome-s
Still present in utopic.

Ok, feel free to mark this as invalid if you don't care that Unity fails
to start from other DM than lightdm.

@Albert, any job run as an upstart user session, will not have access to
that variable, at the very least that affects the gnome-session job and
also gnome-settings-daemon

gnome-session is setting it so the session itself is fine, the issue is
that the gnome-session upstart job is not benefiting from that

It works fine here without the DM setting it. Note that the variable is
set, probably by something else.

XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP needs to be set by the DM, otherwise GNOME and
probably Unity sessions will be buggy.

No, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is an Ubuntu specific thing at the moment, we
have been talking about it standardized on freedesktop though (it should
be discussed at the next fdo summit)

Is there anything in a spec somewhere that says kdm is at wrong here and
that it should indeed define XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP ?

Right, fixing KDM would be nice, the issue is to know if anyone has

Thanks, the issue is due to the DESKTOP_SESSION -> XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP
change. kdm exports the first variable but not the second one, it makes
the upstart job bail out on "Unknown parameter: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP"
We either need to revert to use DESKTOP_SESSION back or to fix kdm (and
