Creating a custom logon session at the login prompt does not help my situation. Before when a specific user logged in the .xsession file would run and startup firefox. That specific user was only able to run firefox. No windowmanager or anything else. When they close Firefox it would end the session the user's .xsession file was very simple. --------------- #!/bin/bash exec firefox -------------
Creating a session desktop entry at the login prompt allows the user to bypass the ability to restrict the user to a specific application. All they have to do is change the session type on the login window to gnome or whatever and login to get a full desktop bypassing their .xsession file. This is shortsighted IMO on the part of the Gnome devs. It was simple now they have made this complicated if not impossible to do now. Is there a way to run just one application when a specific user logs in the log them out when they close that app? -- The new gdm doesn't give an option to use .xsession https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
