Description Pablo Castellano (pablog) 2010-02-28 15:37:11 UTC

The environment variable $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID is deprecated and we don't know when it will be removed.

Here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542880
some developers suggest other workarounds.

I forgot to add that it's used in:

libxdg-vfs/libxdg-vfs-client/src/xdg_vfs_client.c:150:	e = getenv ("GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID");
xdg-utils/tests/include/desktop_environment:24:   if [ ! -z "$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" ]; then
xdg-utils/scripts/xdg-icon-resource:398:    elif [ x"$GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID" != x"" ]; then DE=gnome;

Already fixed in cvs, 

2009-10-16 Rex Dieter <rdieter@fedoraproject.org>
    * prefer gvfs-open over gnome-open
    * DE=gnome, if org.gnome.SessionManager exists on dbus

And per downstream report,
