Public bug reported: Because of dbus starting gnome-settings-daemon and dbus being the one to also start gnome-session, programs launched by hotkeys handled by g-s-d get no session support (e.g. rhythmbox) because they miss the SESSION_MANAGER env variable. This also prevents the shutdown hotkey from working.
A solution would be to start dbus from gnome-session. See Gnome bug #336237 for a possible patch. ** Affects: control-center (upstream) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #360475 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360475 ** Also affects: control-center (upstream) via http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360475 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Programs launched with hotkeys are not session managed https://launchpad.net/bugs/64720 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
