Long story short: What do you suggest I should tell the people who complain. They have asked what component they should file bugs against. Are you ok with notification-daemon and polkit-gnome?
Depends on what outcome you expect.
Hi Matthias,
my hope is to fix the problems for our users, this means less complains and bug reports.
You can certainly file bugs against notification-daemon, but I don't see the autostart file coming back.
This means we would have to file bugs against *all* window and session managers because ATM we are leaving a lot of people without any support for policykit or notifications, which is a pretty massive regression compared to F14.
I don't think 'number of desktop files' is the thing we should be optimizing, and shared autostart files for desktop infrastructure are just a recipe for avoidable conflicts. All the OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn hackery is just treating the symptoms.
I understand your point and I agree it's just treating symptoms, but I think that a proper use of OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn could fix most of the problems - if we agree on a common set. Of course I am open to suggestions, but so far I haven't heard any.
Regards, Christoph
